Manage episode 388142930 series 3520960
Occasional loneliness is a common human emotion, but the more significant issue lies in chronic loneliness. Individuals grappling with chronic loneliness feel a pervasive sense of not belonging, regardless of how many friends and family physically surround them.
In this episode, Liz dives into the issue of chronic loneliness, shedding light on its multifaceted dimensions with Cindy Jordan, CEO of Pyx Health. She co-founded Pyx Health with her wife, Anne, creating a tech-enabled, human-powered solution for loneliness and social isolation, which was motivated by their tragic experience with a loved one who struggled with chronic loneliness and social isolation.
Cindy highlights the many health issues linked to chronic loneliness, emphasizing the need for comprehensive care that takes a whole-person approach. Listen to the episode and learn about what our Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, has identified as an epidemic of loneliness and isolation across the country, along with tools and resources that can help.
