Join host Anthony Walsh on "The Roadman Podcast" as we delve into the profound impact of community on our health. In this episode, we reflect on the lessons from Roseto, Pennsylvania—a town that defied medical norms through the strength of its social ties. We explore how relationships release health-boosting hormones and build a psychological immune system, essential for our well-being. Drawing parallels with the blue zones and insights from high-profile guests like Dr. Erik Korem and the founder of Gym+Coffee, we discuss combating the modern epidemic of loneliness and fostering deep connections in an increasingly transient world.

Today, she’s an advocate for living a ‘Limitless’ life, empowering others to break down self-imposed barriers and unlock their true potential. Shannon delves deep into emotional and energetic blocks that could be affecting your health and happiness as you age.
