Do You Need Help or A Hug?

Send us a text

Sometimes the most powerful health tool isn’t food, movement, or rest—it’s connection. In this episode, I share one simple question that has transformed how I support others and how I feel supported myself. You’ll hear the science behind why this matters for autoimmune health and how asking (or being asked) this one thing can lower stress, ease fatigue, and strengthen your relationships.

Key Takeaways:

• The “help or hug” question and how it can transform connection.
• Why social connection can trigger the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response for both people involved.
• The research showing connection lowers distress and improves quality of life in autoimmune disease.
• How being the person others turn to with hard news has become one of my most meaningful measures of health.
• Why inside CLUB Habit Hub, the space to ask for help or a hug is a game-changer for making healthier habits stick.
