Want a tip to live a longer, healthier life? No, we're not talking about diet and exercise - but about connecting deeply with other people.

It might sound too good to be true, but scientists have found that connection with others helps relieve harmful levels of stress, which can adversely affect coronary arteries, gut function, insulin regulation, and the immune system.  It turns out that regularly making time for friends is good for the mind and the body - which is why we're dedicating this episode to making girls' night a priority.

Whether you're a girl or a guy - there's something for us all to consider in this episode on the why and how of girls' night out. We hope it will leave you reaching for your phone and connecting with friends!
