I listened in on a conference call last night given by the Brave Heart Women website. The creator of the site was interviewing a Dr. Sugar Singleton about what they call the "prosperity hormone." They were referring to oxytocin, which is a neurotransmitter and a hormone. Their contention is that as women, we are more powerful when we activate our oxytocin pathways than when we activate our adrenaline pathways.
The thinking is that when men operate on adrenaline, it charges them up, but when women do, we are more likely to experience burnout.
Rather than recap what was said, I’m going to provide a link to an article written by another woman who did just that. Click Here
Let me know what you think.
To your health!
