95: The Epidemic of Loneliness Part 2

We are continuing our three part series of the Surgeon General's Adviosry on the Healing Effects of Social Connection and Community in the report on the Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation.  Last week we went over what the report set out to do, and this week we get into the nitty gritty and talk about how Isolation and Loneliness affects our health.  It affects our health in physical, mental, and lifestyle behaviors.  We talk through all the ways our health is affected and how social connection is a main protector for our physical and mental health. Social conneciton even affects our behaviors and lifestyle which in turn has an impact in our communities.   I hope you gain some insight into how your health can be improved through social connection and your connection with others can save lives.  Links You Need Here is the link to the full report from the Surgeon General that goes much more in depth than my brief overview.  Bingeing Segment I have been obsessed with this song.  I'm sure you've seen it all over Instagram and Tiktok, but the whole song is just as good as the snip bit all over your socials. Be sure to check out the artists' whole album as well.  Don't Forget!  Be sure to leave a rating and review of the podcast on Apple podcasts to help spread the conversations and build more connections.
