You’re Not Just Feeling Good—You’re Healing: The Science of Cuddling

That warm, safe feeling after a long hug?

The calm that washes over you when someone holds your hand?

The way your shoulders drop and your breath deepens when you're held?

It’s not just emotional comfort.

You’re literally healing your body.

In this enlightening episode, mindfulness and emotional wellness expert Dr. Soha dives into the surprising science behind cuddling — revealing how one of the simplest human acts is actually a powerful form of biological medicine.

From releasing oxytocin (the “love hormone”) to lowering cortisol (the stress hormone), reducing blood pressure, and boosting immune function, cuddling does far more than make you feel loved — it recalibrates your nervous system, reduces inflammation, and even helps you live longer.

Dr. Soha breaks down:

How just 20 seconds of hugging can trigger measurable changes in your brain and body

Why touch is a basic human need — not a luxury

The hidden epidemic of touch deprivation in modern life

The difference between casual contact and healing touch

Practical, safe ways to invite more nurturing physical connection into your life — whether you're in a relationship or not

This episode is a love letter to the power of presence, skin, and simple human contact.

🎧 Tune in and discover why the next time you cuddle, you’re not just bonding — you’re healing at the cellular level.
