I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are managed and our business is managed in Shopify. Start your free trial at shopify.com.
Thank you for coming back. I'm really excited about this. So we're gonna talk about algae oil and lithium. I can't believe I'm saying, I love this. But we were just having a conversation off camera about dogs, and I was telling you my crackpot health theories, which are very sincere and firmly believed. But one of them is that sleeping next to your dog in bed and having dogs in your life, physically in your life, kissing dogs, is very important to your health. I feel that way strongly, but I never tell anybody because it's too crazy, but you just affirmed my belief. You said there might be some science behind
Yeah, there was a paper a few years ago in science where they actually showed that dogs actually captured what we call the oxytocin system. Oxytocin is a hormone, you know, produced by your... Hormones. Hormones, yeah. They are produced and they are for bonding. Actually, the main purpose of oxytocin is, it's a Greek word, it's for... It actually is activating the uterus and helps delivering the baby. Yeah, like Pitocin that they give to women and ladies. Yeah, exactly, the same stuff. And every time we look into the eyes of friends and be happy and have companionship, then oxytocin is produced in our body. And the oxytocin has one important function, and that is not only to give easy birth when you deliver a baby, but also a second function, which is actually important for the bonding between the mother and the child.
So the bonding between the mother and child is essential for the life of the child. If you can't remember the child, if you can't smell it, if you don't have a connection to the child, the child is lost. So the mother love and the love of the mother to the child has to keep for the whole life. And this, of course, is a function of our autobiographical memory center, which we call the hippocampus, you know, a seahorse-shaped hippocampus. structure here in the temporal lobe of our brain on both sides, big like a thumb. This is the memory center. Actually, we will talk about this in depth, I guess, because this memory center is important if we are able to think peace, if we actually act like humans, you know, reflect about things.
And of course, if it doesn't function, one disease which we all know about, which I call hippocampal dementia, is Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's starts from the hippocampus. And the main reason I published this in 2016, I called it Unified Theory of Alzheimer's, is that this hippocampus has the ability to grow new nerve cells every day. These are required that we can accumulate a lifelong... information, knowledge, experiences that are valuable for our children, but also for our grandchildren. The main reason we get that old as we get. Okay, so the hippocampus has to grow new cells. And one of the major fertilizers of this growth process is oxytocin. So when a child is born, a lot of oxytocin is produced, the hippocampus grows, and the mother has a better memory than ever in her whole life when the child is born.
The same actually does prolactin, which is important for giving milk to the baby. So giving milk to the baby, the birth of the baby produces hormones, and these hormones activate the growth of the hippocampus. And the same goes for dogs. When a dog looks into your eyes, It was proven the oxytocin level increases in your blood, but not only in your blood, also in the dog's blood, by the way. So there is kind of a bonding between the two species based on the oxytocin system. And the paper in Science about 10-15 years ago said that the oxytocin system was captured by the dogs so that they become our friendliest companions.
First of all, that's beautiful and great to hear, but what could be the purpose of that?
