Improve Your Relationships For Better Health

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and
InsideTracker.   Community is medicine, just like food or
sleep. Without community, we can become isolated, which has been
found to be connected with inflammation and can even negatively
impact immune response. Moreover, whom you choose to be in
community with also matters. Your immediate social circle—the
four-to-five people you surround yourself with the most—has the
greatest influence on your health. In today’s episode, I talk with
Radha Agrawal, Dan Buettner, and Dr. Vivek Murthy about why
community matters, what we have learned from cultures that
prioritize community in their population, and how to take care of
our needs first before giving to others. Radha Agrawal is the
Co-founder, CEO, and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, the
early morning dance and wellness move-ment. Daybreaker currently
holds events in 25 cities and more than a dozen college campuses
around the world and has a community of almost half a million
people. She is also the author of the book, Belong: Find Your
People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life. 
  Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow,
award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times
bestselling author. He discovered the five places in the world—
dubbed Blue Zones hotspots—where people live the longest,
healthiest lives.   Dr. Vivek H. Murthy served as the 19th
Surgeon General of the United States from December 15, 2014 to
April 21, 2017 and was confirmed by the United States Senate on
March 23, 2021 as the 21st Surgeon General of the United States. In
2017, Dr. Murthy focused his attention on chronic stress and
loneliness as prevalent problems that have profound implications
for health, productivity, and happiness. He is the author of,
Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes
Lonely World.   This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health,
