Loneliness Is Killing Us Faster Than Sugar
About this video
A short clip about loneliness as a health crisis. Brecka argues that human connection is one of the most important inputs to health and that it is plummeting as people spend more time alone, which he claims accelerates decline. His guest describes building a hospitality business, Remedy, that deliberately combines that setting with functional medicine so guests get a fuller picture of how different factors affect one another, and reflects on what five years of listening to patients taught him about their most common complaint.
