Touch is the first sense we develop, and one of the most powerful tools we have for connection, healing, and communication. In this episode, social neuroscientist <a href= "https://www.banissy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Michael Banissy</a> explains how everyday gestures like hugs, handshakes, and high-fives influence our health and emotional well-being. From the biological complexity of our touch receptors to surprising studies on immune response, stress, and sleep, Dr. Banissy reveals why touch matters more than we think, and what happens when we don't get enough of it. Plus - the dangers of a pain-free life.
