Connection may be the most underrated medicine for longevity. Research shows that people with strong social ties cut their risk of early death by 50%, while loneliness raises it by 70%. As dangerous as smoking and worse than obesity.
In this episode of The Menopause Method, Cam Allen shares why relationships, community, and even your relationship with yourself are as important for healthspan as food and exercise. From the Blue Zones to the famous Alameda County Study, to Harvard’s Counterclockwise Study on acting younger, the evidence is clear: connection shapes how long and how well we live.
You’ll discover:

• Why healthspan isn’t just about steps and calories
• How loneliness impacts your body like smoking
• What the Blue Zones teach us about community and belonging
• Why environment shapes digestion, stress, and even aging
• The role of self-connection in the midlife awakening of menopause
