Mark LeBusque from the ‘Simply, Practically Human’ podcast and I got together (with Melissa) and had a natter (that’s a Mary word) about all the stuff that can impact our overall health, which doesn’t get much of a mention. We put aside the typical ‘food, exercise and lifestyle’ conversation to focus on the potential health benefits of things like laughter, music, connection, purpose, goals, animals, hugs and nature and the health risks of things like loneliness, isolation, retirement and the feeling (or reality) of not being needed, valued, wanted and/or loved. Deep human connection can be therapeutic, healing, immune system boosting, mind altering (for the better) and anxiety reducing. This is an important topic. Enjoy.
