In this episode of The Joe Cohen Show, Joe takes a personal and scientific look at monogamy, exploring why some people feel more content in exclusive relationships than others.
He breaks down what research says about the hormone vasopressin and its role in bonding, loyalty, and long-term attachment, drawing from both animal studies and genetic findings.
Joe also shares a surprising result from his own supplement routine, where taking L-arginine and glycine seemed to shift his natural tendencies toward greater monogamy.
It's a unique mix of biohacking, hormones, and human behavior you won’t want to miss.
