KEY TAKEAWAYS
When cortisol is up oxytocin is down and low oxytocin can result in you feeling disconnected
When you incorporate more fun and joy into your life you can raise your oxytocin
Raising oxytocin is one of the quickest ways to bring cortisol into balance
When you are in a physiological state of disconnect it can be very difficult to understand what makes you happy
You have to leave the past behind, practice the art of gratitude and be in the present to increase levels of oxytocin.
Urine is a biomarker and checking it every day can help you to get in tune with your body

If you have a good night’s sleep you should wake up alkaline
