About this episode
What if the most powerful medicine for loneliness and anxiety was literally at our fingertips, a forgotten language we're designed to speak?
Join me as I explore the surprising science of touch starvation, from the specific nerves that crave a gentle caress to the shocking experiments that revealed how vital physical connection is for our survival. Together, we'll rediscover the simple, profound power of human touch and learn how a single, 15-second action can begin to heal our need for connection.
