What if the secret to better health isn’t just in medicine, but in connection and kindness? In this episode, Alita Guillen sits down with Dr. Kelli Harding: psychiatrist, Columbia University professor, and author of The Rabbit Effect: Live Longer, Happier, and Healthier with the Groundbreaking Science of Kindness.
Together, they explore how compassion, connection, and everyday relationships directly shape our health and longevity. Dr. Harding shares why she left the traditional view of medicine behind to embrace the mind-body connection. She shares research on how compassion and kindness can have a direct effect on improving your cholesterol. She gives examples of how simple acts of kindness can reduce stress and build resilience. They also talk about what purpose and success look like in today’s fast-paced world.
This conversation is a roadmap for anyone who wants to live better, be healthier, and help others do the same. From rethinking what health really means to small, practical steps we can all take, Dr. Harding makes science accessible, inspiring, and deeply human.
