	Description:		This week, Dr. Drew talks to journalist and author Julia Hotz. Julia shares insights from her book, The Connection Cure, exploring how loneliness affects our health as severely as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Together with Dr. Drew, they unpack the concept of "social prescribing"—a revolutionary approach where doctors prescribe activities like volunteering, nature walks, and community engagement instead of just medication. Julia explains how communal living, purpose, and meaning can transform mental health and combat the growing epidemic of loneliness, depression, and anxiety.
