In this episode, Arnold tackles one of the most critical health crises facing modern society: loneliness. Opening with stark statistics—1 in 6 people worldwide experience loneliness, 1 in 3 Americans feel lonely weekly, and young men are among the most isolated—Arnold refuses to just complain without offering solutions.
Drawing from his own life experiences, from the Graz Weightlifting team to the legendary Gold's Gym crew immortalized in Pumping Iron, Arnold reveals how gyms have always been his primary source of community and connection. Even in his 70s, he still trains in public gyms, making new friends and maintaining the social connections that data shows are literally extending lives.
