Julianne Holt-Lunstad Joins Me to Discuss How to Navigate Isolation, Loneliness, and its Impact on Health

In the podcast, Julianne Holt-Lunstad distinguishes between isolation and loneliness by emphasizing the distinction between objective physical separation and subjective emotional experiences. She points out that a person might be physically isolated but not feel lonely, or vice versa. Both conditions can significantly impact one's health, and understanding the difference can aid in developing effective strategies to alleviate their consequences.
