Emotional Longevity

10 Hidden Truths About How Emotions Shape Your Health and Longevity


Listen Later


What if the key to living longer isn't just about diet and exercise—but about how you process your emotions?
In this essential solo episode, Dr. Elisha Goldstein reveals 10 science-backed truths that bridge emotional health with physical longevity—truths that most people completely overlook.
From the Surgeon General's warning that loneliness is as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, to research showing how suppressing emotions triggers inflammation markers, Dr. Goldstein makes a compelling case: emotional health is biological medicine.

This episode is packed with practical "tiny shifts"—small, research-backed practices that can transform your stress response, rewire your nervous system, and literally add years to your life.

🎧 In this episode, you'll discover:

✅ Why suppressing emotions creates inflammation at the cellular level
 ✅ How the vagus nerve knows you're safe before your mind does
 ✅ The real reason burnout is skyrocketing
 ✅ Why joy is a capacity, not just the absence of pain
 ✅ How relationships literally regulate your biology
 ✅ Why self-worth precedes self-care
 ✅ How presence multiplies your experience of time
