Far from being a simple emotion, loneliness disrupts our nervous system and challenges our evolutionary need for connection, signaling danger to our brains. • Välimäki doesn’t stop at diagnosis. He offers practical steps to rebuild connections—starting with ourselves. His talk highlights how self-care, community, and meaningful bonds can transform loneliness from a threat into an opportunity for growth. A vital message for an increasingly isolated world.

Medical advisor and partner of Frendie, which prevents loneliness at work and leisure time, promoting social well-being through its developed technology.
