We often don't make friendships a priority, but a growing body of science shows that quality, close friendships not only boost our mental health but physically change our bodies!!

Lydia Denworth is a science writer who’s been examining the monumental health benefits of friendship for years now. As someone who has often been guilty of neglecting friendships, this conversation blew my mind.

Lydia explains how good friendships are the key to living longer, the incredible impact they have upon us physically and how we can make and maintain the kinds of close friendships that can actually be much more life enhancing than the romantic relationships we often prioritise.

PSA: The podcast is now also available on ⁠Youtube⁠ & as a video podcast on ⁠Spotify⁠ if you'd like to see our smiling faces while you listen!
