We are continuing our three-part series of the Surgeon General’s Advisory 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 affect 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 connection even affects our behaviors and lifestyle, which in turn has an impact on 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.

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 snippet all over your socials. Be sure to check out the artists’ whole album as well.
