# Day 5: “Connect”

By: [David DeRose MD, MPH](https://www.timelesshealinginsights.org/performance-boost-30/author/david-derose-md-mph) on  Jun 6, 2023, 10:48:33 AM

[Week 1](https://www.timelesshealinginsights.org/performance-boost-30/tag/week-1)

Day 5’s Challenge: Connect with someone else in a way that relates to this program. (Electronic connections are okay, but face-to-face connections are preferred.)

Medical research provides abundant evidence of the power of social connectedness. When we give and receive social support our health is truly optimized. If you feel like you are disconnected, don’t despair: in this video, Dr. DeRose provides practical insights for everyone—regardless of how well, or how poorly, they are socially integrated.

Note: Each of the last 30 chapters of Dr. DeRose’s book, “The Methuselah Factor,” provides complementary day-by-day materials to assist you during your thirty-day journey. Chapter 19 provides material that complements this video. To purchase "The Methuselah Factor,” visit [https://www.amazon.com/Methuselah-Factor-Sharper-Leaner-Better/dp/194273008X](https://www.amazon.com/Methuselah-Factor-Sharper-Leaner-Better/dp/194273008X)
