The REAL Driver of Female Behavior: Hormone-Hack Your Goals, Part 2
Manage episode 506699243 series 3659691
Spoiler alert: Everything you do comes down to hormones. But while men are primarily motivated by dopamine, cutting-edge research shows female behavior is much more dominated by another hormone: oxytocin.
In this sequel to last week’s “Hormone-Hack Your Goals” episode, I’ll unpack why oxytocin is so crucial, key gender differences in its effects, and how YOU can use this wisdom to stick to your habits, reach your goals, and live a happy, fulfilling life.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- Why oxytocin has so much power over women’s (as opposed to men’s) brains
- The dangers of low oxytocin and simple ways to get more of it
- How oxytocin amplifies the effect of dopamine to reinforce positive behaviors (but can conversely keep you stuck in people-pleasing and self-sabotage if you’re not careful)
- 8 practical strategies for using oxytocin to boost your motivation and get more done
- Additional hormones governing fluctuations in women’s energy, willpower, and “performance”
