Just a spoon full of humor makes our anxiety go down.  Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies and triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Simply put, we all need to laugh.

This week on The Spark, my guest is award-winning comedian Alicia Dattner, as she speaks with us about her life, laughter, and the messy, wonderful art of embracing our humanity.
