"[Loneliness] is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety, and premature death. The mortality impact of being socially disconnected is similar to that caused by smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, and even greater than that associated with obesity and physical inactivity." -​U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory (2023)​.

This week, Joanne tackles the subject of loneliness and wonders whether she can "fake out" the nation's current epidemic in the same way she tried to outsmart her imposter syndrome.

Visit the episode page on The Korean Vegan website for more on the epidemic of loneliness, including pictures and links. Plus, this week's Recipe Inspo, and "What I'm... (Watching, Reading, Wearing)."
