⌛SIX YEARS of healthy life. That’s what loneliness could cost you, according to new research from @tulane_sphtm

A study by Lu Qi, MD, MPH and his team found that loneliness reduced adults’ average number of years free from physical and mental health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, dementia, cancer, depression and anxiety.

These findings add to a growing body of evidence suggesting that loneliness is an urgent public health priority and that addressing it could help reduce the risk for chronic illness among individuals and communities across the country.

I spent more time worrying about running a 5K than actually preparing for one. And then race day arrived!🏃‍♀️❤️

Two months ago, I signed up for the Wave Makers 5K, determined to train for it. But life happened, responsibilities piled up, and I kept putting it off. Before I knew it, race day was here!

After an exhausting day the day before, I almost skipped it to catch up on sleep. But something told me to just wake up and show up.

And I’m SO glad I did! 🥹

For someone who has always been intimidated by running, jogging a quarter mile and alternating between brisk walking and jogging with my sister felt like a HUGE win!

Two lessons from today:
✨ Procrastination: Sometimes life gets busy, and sometimes fear makes us put things off. Either way, it’s something I’m learning to work on.

✨ Self-belief: We often underestimate ourselves without even giving ourselves a chance to try.

Could I have prepared better? Absolutely. But the 5k reminded me that self-belief isn’t always about knowing you can do something. Sometimes, it’s about giving yourself a chance to find out.

Here’s to procrastinating a little less, believing in ourselves a little more, and showing up even when we doubt ourselves! ❤️

Black Music, Black Lives, Black Health Lecture: Health Disparities are not simply differences between people. They are patterned outcomes produced within systems. Most of all, what can affect anyone can - and ultimately will - affect us all. At Tulane, in New Orleans, this conversation is not abstract - Culture, Health, Arts, and Medicine are deeply intertwined. Sincerest Thank you to Dr @cbryanmusic for the collaboration and opportunity to lecture of this topic in her course Black Music, Black Lives. #healthequity #drdrdrjackson #musicasmedicine
