Scientists Try to Measure Love | February, 2010

According a recent article published in the LA Times, hormones may be the key to a long, healthy and passionate relationship. Arthur Aron, a social psychologist at Stony Brook University conducted a study consisting of 10 women and seven men who had recently "fallen in love" (within the last 17 months). The study concluded that the "smitten" sensation that women and men experience during the early stages of a relationship are caused by the release of the neurotransmitter known as dopamine. However, after the hackneyed "honeymoon phase" is over, we rely on the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin to maintain the so-called "bond." These hormones help the couple form an emotional attachment. The common belief was that as we age, our relationships begin to plateau. Aron's study concluded that if couples interact on a regular basis and don't distance themselves from one another, relationships can be as thrilling as they were in the beginning.

When passion is dwindling however, the culprit could be a low libido, oftentimes resulting from an underlying hormonal imbalance. BodyLogicMD's bioidentical hormone doctors have helped tens of thousands of women and men restore their sex drive, using a combination of bioidentical hormones and customized fitness and nutrition programs.
