This week, Dr. Rohan Ramakrishna sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Ben Rein to unpack the physiological harm of loneliness and the neuroscience of social connection. They discuss how isolation creates chronic inflammation, why social media can erode empathy, and how building social connection creates cognitive reserve to protect our brains as we age.
New episodes are released every other week, wherever you get your podcasts.
