Love is in the Air!

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about chocolate and roses (although, I’m not against a good dark chocolate moment 🍫). It’s also the perfect time to nurture your connection—emotionally, physically, and even biochemically—with your partner. Yes, your hormones, gut health, and overall well-being play a major role in intimacy and connection!

So here are my top naturopathic tips for a more connected, intimate Valentine’s Day:

  • Support Your Love Hormones – Oxytocin, the “bonding hormone,” thrives with touch, laughter, and deep conversations. End your night snuggling up under a warm infrared sauna blanket for a relaxing bonding experience that can lead to more... connection 😉.
  • Ditch the Sugar Hangover – If you’re celebrating with wine or chocolate, keep blood sugar balanced with a protein-rich meal beforehand.
  • Boost Libido Naturally – Circulation and hormone balance are key. Try maca root, adaptogenic herbs, or beet root powder to support and increase blood flow and stamina. My favorite daily supplement for this? This one right here.
  • Make it Personal – Instead of a generic card, write a heartfelt letter of appreciation. Science shows that expressing gratitude strengthens relationships AND improves mental health. A win-win.

Let’s make this Valentine’s Day about feeling GOOD—inside and out. ❤️

Stay well,
Dr. Francesca
