Are you curious about the ideal number of social relationships for a healthier life? 🌞
 Or, the daily 'social connection' goals that can boost your well-being! 💪

 In this week’s episode, join me for an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad, the lead scientific editor of the US Surgeon General's advisory on loneliness, and a distinguished professor of psychology and neuroscience at Brigham Young University. 

We discuss her deep research in the field, the possibility of national health guidelines for social connection, effectiveness of online vs in person connection and much more.
