Ways to Increase Your Oxytocin Levels

Hey, this is Ben Greenfield. I thought you'd like this little clip of my latest podcast. There are actual ways that you can increase your oxytocin naturally. Do you want to know some of them? Naturally? Not injecting it. Having sex and orgasm obviously causes a big burst in oxytocin. That's probably one of the. One of the biggest ones. And they found this to especially be the case in multi orgasmic women, which I thought most women were, but I'm just saying. Only when they're with you, I guess so. Nipple stimulation, cuddling and touching, and even falling in love. Falling in love. Vagus stimulation. Vagus nerve stimulation. So this would be like cold showers. Chanting, singing, meditation, et cetera, music. Eating can increase oxytocin, which may fly in the face of this whole high oxytocin, probably. If you're trying to get oxytocin into your system to lose weight. Eating. Eating would not be the best of the choices that I'm presenting to you. Warm showers increase oxytocin. That's why you feel so good when you take like a nice warm shower in the morning. By the way, I learned that that badass big wave surfer Laird Hamilton, the last time I was hanging out with him, he told me that that's his morning routine is he does a really long warm shower every morning, which sounds fantastic.
