Why are relationships affecting our bodies and brains? What does the “ideal” relationship look like? And how can we eradicate toxic ones and be honest with ourselves? 

To learn more about love and family life, Gunnar Peterson invited marriage and family therapist Nicoletta Heidegger to talk about confidence, non-monogamy and the impact of the #MeToo movement on men. 

They also focus on the most important emotional struggles and how we can deal with them.
