- Studies have shown that loneliness can be extremely detrimental to our health. Posing a higher health risk than smoking, loneliness can lead to inflammation and a host of other precursors to disease. And we know that loneliness does not only result from being alone; even those who live with others can feel lonely and isolated, meaning the quality of our relationships is extremely important to our health. While it might seem intimidating to branch out of loneliness, it can do wonders for your health, attitude, and mindset.
In Dr. Hyman’s recent conversation with Dr. Vivek Murthy, Dr. Murthy shares some of the common challenges that keep us stuck in a rut of loneliness, and he walks us through some really simple ways to become more connected.
Dr. Vivek Murthy served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States between 2014-2017. As the Vice Admiral of the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, he commanded a uniformed service of 6,600 public health officers globally. During his tenure, Dr. Murthy launched the TurnTheTide campaign, catalyzing a movement among health professionals to address the nation’s opioid crisis. He also issued the first Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health, calling for expanded access to prevention and treatment and for recognizing addiction as a chronic illness, not a character flaw.
In 2017, Dr. Murthy focused his attention on chronic stress and loneliness as prevalent problems that have profound implications for health, productivity, and happiness. His book Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World was just published in April 2020.

Excellent video! We are in our 80's and feel better than ever! Still work for a strong body, a calm mind, and a positive attitude. Doing some research for our tiny new healthy-aging advice channel. Learned a lot. Thanks!
One of the best doses for loneliness from our practical experience, is to radiate love by helping others (there are a thousand ways of helping others) and to show love to HIS creation by being compassionate and kind towards the animals, birds etc., Incidentally, our loneliness is completely repelled by rescuing and caring for the street animals like dogs, cats, cows etc., etc., We are over occupied in caring for these four legged creatures which leaves no room for loneliness.
Fine if you have money and space to do this. I have one dog she is all l can afford.
What if your all alone in the world. No one to love, or love me.
love this message
I agree with you Doc, engage in activities that will help you to connect with people. Also we need to learn to develop relationship with our "self" so we can use the opportunity to study the "Book of our Life. 🙏❤️selfhelpchampion
Very lonely rn. But unaccomplished, which pushes ppl away. Everyone wants you to prove something of value, I don't have any.
help others...give and you will be given
I am tierd of being told to connect more with people. How do l do that when others are so busy? I tried to offer my service to volunteer only to be told they would let let know. I heard nothing back from them. I dont think this doctor really offers any help.
...well one thing to realize if humanity is in an utter cluster due to over population. We don't need each other anymore, and it's it's easier to not deal with these things and pursue personal interest. I don't like it either. I need connection, but I'm judged based on my modern survival skills, which are terrible, AKA broke, and no direction. Ppl don't even want to be around that.
Famous last words...
What about those that have NO ONE ???
yes, loneliness is a killer
And now with COVID 19 everyone should swore from home.
