🧠 The Medicine of Belonging: How Healing Society Heals the Brain

Season 6 Episode 2

Please take a look at the corresponding Substack episode.

There’s a number that should keep us all awake at night: 443 million. That’s how many disability-adjusted life years—healthy years of life lost to disease and early death—were stolen by neurological conditions in 2021 alone. And if you think that’s staggering, consider this: we’re on track to nearly triple the number of people living with dementia by 2050, with the steepest increases happening in the countries least equipped to handle them.

For decades, we’ve been told that brain health is essentially a matter of individual responsibility. Eat right. Exercise. Keep your mind active. Don’t stress so much. The implicit message has always been clear: if your brain fails you, you probably failed it first.

But what if that’s been a convenient lie?

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.

Thanks for listening today!

Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
