To promote longevity and wellness, women need to focus on hormonal balance by addressing insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistance can disrupt sex hormones, leading to conditions like PCOS. Beyond diet and fasting methodology, managing stress via the regulation of cortisol is crucial. Cortisol imbalance leads to persistent insulin resistance, thereby affecting hormone balance.

The role of oxytocin is vital. At the top of the hormonal hierarchy, oxytocin directly influences cortisol levels and subsequent hormonal balance. Building and nurturing human connections is key, especially relationships that induce oxytocin release. Prioritizing quality social interactions over pressing pursuits, like an intense gym routine, can be more beneficial to holistic health.

“Your most important health habit is to prioritize oxytocin.”

Understanding and acting in accordance with your rhythms, such as circadian, nervous system, metabolic, and hormonal rhythms, is essential. Healthy circadian rhythms aid in sleep optimization, crucial for hormone regulation and overall health benefits like fat burning and organ repair. Aligning wake-sleep cycles with natural light patterns helps maintain this essential rhythm.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle involves avoiding environments and influences that stir toxicity—this includes both physical environments and emotional or digital inputs. Toxic elements such as unhealthy foods, harmful social media content, and stressful relationships can drain your energy and deplete crucial hormones like oxytocin.

Curate environments and relationships to foster positivity and empowerment. Evaluate the material and psychological inputs in your life to ensure they contribute to, rather than detract from, personal wellness.

• Identify and unfollow negative influences on social media.
• Distance from toxic relationships.
• Be mindful of exercise and nutrition habits aligning with body's rhythms.

Lastly, take ownership of your health journey. Acknowledge the current aspects of health concerns may not be your fault but claim responsibility. Cherish the intelligence of your body and stay inquisitively engaged in unlocking its full potential.

"Where you sit right now may not be your fault, but it is your responsibility."
