Let’s consider Oxytocin!
You may not be surprised to hear that during the peri menopause and beyond, not only does Oestrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone decline but so do other essential hormones. This includes Oxytocin, often referred to as the love hormone, bonding hormone, or the cuddle hormone. Oxytocin has a positive effect on our mood and emotions and plays an important role in human bonding.
