Weâre not wired to be this disconnected.
In todayâs episode, I sit down with Julia Hotzâaward-winning journalist and author of The Connection Cureâto explore why modern medicine is missing a huge piece of the puzzle⊠and how we can fix it without a single pill.
We dive into social prescribingâa science-backed practice where doctors prescribe movement, nature, art, service, and human connection instead of medication. Juliaâs research proves what weâve known deep down all along: we donât heal in isolation. We heal through meaning, purpose, and community.
We discuss:
Why anxiety, ADHD and depression may be responsesânot disordersThe 5 powerful (and often overlooked) ingredients for lasting healthHow social prescribing is helping people heal without medicationWhy deep connectionânot more productivityâis the real cure for burnoutWhat the longest human study reveals about the key to a long lifeThis conversation blew my mind and cracked open a new way of thinking about health and purpose. If youâve ever felt overwhelmed, anxious, or like somethingâs missingâyouâre not broken. Youâre just missing connection.
If you know someone whoâs struggling with stress or disconnection, send them this episode. It might just change everything.
