Moving the body daily is the single most powerful thing an Activator can do for their health and happiness.

Hormonal Sensitivity
Vasopressin

Keeping the mind engaged and intellectually stimulated is what keeps the Sensor healthy and thriving.

Hormonal Sensitivity
Oxytocin
Character
People pleasers and people lovers — naturally give and receive affection openly. Extroverted; social interactions fuel their energy. Needs variety in foods, people and experiences. Verbal expression and connection are essential for stress release.
Top Priority
A positive mindset and inner dialogue is the foundation of the Connector's health — everything else flows from there.
🦬
