On this episode of the Subspace Exploration Project Todd, Clay, and Ronen spoke with Nathaniel Lundin, E-RYT, human physiology nerd, about social health and it’s impact on others. In this episode, we had a great talk with our friend Nate Lundin about how community, social and political structures directly impact our health, happiness and safety. From dysphoria to anxiety to numerous other issues that are commonly regarded as disorders, some or all could very well be entirely the result of rigid social structures and a deficit of empathy.
