Meet Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad. She's an award-winning professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Brigham Young University, where she is also the Director of the Social Neuroscience Lab. Additionally, she has an adjunct professorship at Iverson Health Innovation Research Institute at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. Dr. Holt-Lunstad's research is focused on the long-term health effects of social connection. In this episode, we dive into the many areas of Dr. Holt-Lunstad's work, including the fraying of our social fabric, the impact of social (dis)connection on our physical and mental health, and the current cultural stigma around loneliness. We dig deep into these topics. We unpack what it means to feel alone versus experiencing social isolation. We discuss how political divisiveness has led people to feel less connected to their communities, friends, and family. Dr. Holt-Lunstad does offer ways in which we can mitigate the fraying of or repair the fabric that brings us together by investing in social relationships and helping others.
