This is part two of our protocol to kicking stress in the tail. Human connection is our last step but in no way our least! Having vaulable human connection changes our physiology for the better. We are social primates and thrive off of human connection but what kind of human connection are you having?

You don't have to be a people person to have meaningful connections in life, it's just a matter of finding your tribe.

We discuss what human connection does to us on a physical and chemical level, why it's important to not only focus on who you surround yourself with but who you don't surround yourself with, and how we've lost the art of empathy in today's fearful society.
