About this episode

A lot of things happen to our bodies when we fall in love. Some of the obvious physical reactions are getting butterflies in the stomach, dilated pupils and a racing heartbeat. Another one that many of us have experienced is losing our appetite.  You know the feeling: you're so smitten with your new crush that you can barely eat a bite. You skip breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and instead spend hours daydreaming about them or talking to them on the phone. What's actually going on inside the body when this happens? How do you explain that some people put on weight when in a relationship? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
