Love is more than a feeling—it’s a biological phenomenon rooted in our brains and bodies. In this episode, we explore how the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and caudate nucleus ignite attraction, how dopamine, oxytocin, vasopressin, and serotonin shape our emotions, and why evolution designed love as a powerful force for bonding and survival. We also dive into Sternberg’s Triangular Theory and Attachment Theory to understand intimacy, passion, and commitment, while uncovering love’s impact on health and its universal presence across cultures.
