Dr. Drew Pinsky, board certified internist and addiction medicine specialist, takes listener calls and talks to experts on a variety of topics relating to health, relationships, sex and drug addiction.
This week, Dr. Drew talks to journalist and author Julia Hotz. Julia shares insights from her book, The Connection Cure, exploring how loneliness affects our health as severely as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Together with Dr. Drew, they unpack the concept of "social prescribing"—a revolutionary approach where doctors prescribe activities like volunteering, nature walks, and community engagement instead of just medication. Julia explains how communal living, purpose, and meaning can transform mental health and combat the growing epidemic of loneliness, depression, and anxiety.
