Why Connection Is The Most Important Aspect Of Health: Best Of 2019

CAUTION ADVISED: this podcast contains swearing.

Over the past 2 years, I have had the privilege of talking with some of the most influential and insightful voices in the health and wellbeing space. To celebrate, I have decided to release 3 very special compilation episodes at the end of the year, which also happens to be the end of the decade! In my new book, Feel Better in 5, I split up health into 3 main areas: Mind, Body and Heart. The ‘Heart’ section is all about nurturing your essential human connections. This is such a crucial, but undervalued, component of health. People who are lonely are 50% more likely to die earlier and 30% more likely to suffer from a heart attack or stroke. The feeling of social isolation is through to be as harmful for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes per day.

In today’s show, I
share some of the best clips from my podcast about the importance and power of
meaningful human connection. You will hear from Dhru Purohit on why we need
deep meaningful friendships to thrive, and not just survive, the
hypnotherapist, Chloe Brotheridge, on why being kind to yourself is so
important and why life feels perfect once we accept the way that things are,
the outspoken Nagoski Sisters, who discuss how to complete the stress response
cycle, no matter what the stressor is in your life is and why a 20 second hug
can be so beneficial. You will then hear from Peter Crone – without question,
my conversation with Peter has proven to be one of the most popular and
impactful episodes I have ever released on my show – I share a clip where Peter
talks about how you cannot create the life of someone else you don’t believe
yourself to be and how true happiness is the absence of the search for
happiness. We then hear from the physician, Gabor Mate, who talks about social
isolation and how addiction is a behaviour that we use to soothe our pain, and
then finish off with the wonderful Johann Hari on the primal importance of
human connection and why he defines home as being the place where somebody
notices when you are not there. 

I really enjoyed
putting this episode together and I hope you enjoy listening, as much!

There are plenty of 5 minute tips on
how to nurture those essential human connections in my brand new book, Feel
Better in 5. You can order your very own copy now – Feel
better in 5; Your Daily Plan to Feel Better for Life.
