Want to Live Longer? Fix This First (It's Not Diet or Exercise)

What if your mindset mattered more than your meals? Dr. Amit Sood explores the science of loneliness, the biology of connection, and how your self-worth directly affects your health.

Dr. Sood breaks down how meaningful relationships—and even the way you speak to yourself—can reduce inflammation, improve heart health, boost longevity, and lower your risk of depression. Research shows that how you feel about yourself, and your role in your community, can impact your gene expression.

In this episode you'll learn:

- How cultivating social connection and self-compassion can radically transform your physical well-being

- How social connection alters gene expression

- The one question that predicts longevity, according to science

- How to find self-acceptance in just three steps

- How to never feel lonely again

Dr. Sood is the author of the groundbreaking new book, It Takes You to Tango.
