Loneliness as a health crisis: what the science says

Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park examine why the U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness a public health epidemic, exploring the science behind how chronic isolation affects your body as severely as smoking 15 cigarettes a day—and why digital connection often makes it worse. You'll learn the critical difference between being alone and feeling lonely, discover which social interventions actually work (spoiler: they're smaller than you think), and get practical ways to assess your own social health without the guilt.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show:  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow  📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com  Powered by VoxCrea.AI
