“Such a great first lesson! And I really appreciate the recommended reading list! My ah-ahs: the synergistic relationship of melatonin and oxytocin to support an easier labor and the importance of a strong circadian rhythm in even pair bonding and gender differentiation. My question would be so do you feel like this may be playing a role into why there is such a high divorce rates as well as this emergence of gender fluidity because our circadian balance is so skewed?”
