Why do you think that taking the first step is so hard? You talk about the spiraling and how the pangs of loneliness are so universal. How is it that some people can go from the pangs of loneliness and easily do something, find a group, connect, and other people spiral out of control?
What I've heard from you throughout this conversation is that people can try this prescription on their own. So let's recap. Takeaway number one, which may be the first step to overcoming loneliness, is to take a risk.
Takeaway number two is to make something.
And takeaway number three is to have conversations.
And that leads to takeaway number four, which is to find like-minded people. Find a community that matches your interests.
And that leads us to the last takeaway. What would you say is takeaway number five?
Dr. Jeremy Nobel, thanks so much for joining us.
If you're getting ready for a surgery, such as a joint replacement or another major operation, you may want to ask your health care providers about prehabilitation. The new study finds a combination of movement, increasing your protein intake, and mentally preparing for surgery can significantly reduce the risk of complications, says study author Dr. Dan McIsaac of the University of Ottawa.
For instance, the research shows people who do strength building and other forms of physical activity in the month or two before surgery can reduce their risks by as much as 40%, often decreasing hospital stays and making a meaningful improvement in how they experience their recovery.

More than two-thirds of adults in the U.S. report having at least one drink or more per week. But Surgeon General Vivek Murthy says what many don't realize is that alcohol can increase the risk of breast and colorectal cancer, as well as cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and liver.
The precise amount of alcohol that may increase a person's risk is not clear. It's linked to a range of factors, including genetics and family history. Current U.S. guidelines recommend no more than one drink a day for women, two for men. A review of the evidence underway now could lead to revisions later this year. Allison Aubrey, NPR News.
