Ever notice how our health has started to feel like a side hustle? Steps, scores, streaks—so much noise. Walking reminded me what joy feels like without a dashboard.

Lately, I’ve been trading metrics for moments:
• Saying yes to a 15-minute walk instead of another health hack
• Noticing neighbors, sunsets, and clear thoughts
• Feeling better without chasing a “perfect” number

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by health data, this piece by Seth Husney is a refreshing reset. It’s about rediscovering simple habits that actually make us feel alive—starting with a walk.

Take a read, then take a lap. What simple habit helps you cut through the noise?

How often do we stop and think about the spaces that bring us together?

Loneliness is more than just a feeling; it’s a pressing health concern. Studies equate its impact to smoking 15 ci******es a day, and it can accelerate health issues ranging from heart disease to Alzheimer’s. More people are feeling isolated, especially in a world where remote work, digital tools, and algorithms have replaced much of our face-to-face connection.

What’s missing? Third places. These are the coffee shops, parks, stoops, and diners where community comes alive. They’re the spaces where laughter, conversations, and casual interactions bind us together. Yet, they’re increasingly rare.

Seth Husney’s reflections bring this loss into stark clarity, reminding us how vital these spaces are—not just for combating loneliness, but for our overall well-being.

At Santovia, we believe in fostering connection. Supporting vibrant communities and valuing third places is at the heart of what we do. Read Seth’s latest piece here at https://santovia.com/blog/a-light-on-loneliness/ and let us know how your third place is making a difference in your life!

"Memento Mori" – Remember You Will Die.

Death isn’t a subject we like to think about often, but maybe we should. It’s not about fear; it’s about perspective. When we acknowledge our mortality, we’re reminded of how precious each moment truly is.

Today, we’re obsessed with living forever. Silicon Valley promises ultra-longevity with wild and extreme innovations, but at what cost? Are we adding years to our lives… or real life to those years?

With every breath, we have the chance to live meaningfully. To spend time with loved ones. To be present. To prioritize health, not as a number on a chart, but as a way to feel alive.

Technology can assist us, but it shouldn’t define us. Life is fleeting, and that’s what gives it meaning. We don’t need 150 years to understand what matters most. We only need to remember this simple truth.

Remember you will die It was January 2020 and I was visiting Philadelphia. For many of us, just the date January 2020 is enough to send a shiver down our spines, but the chill was a lot more literal then, as a cold front engulfed the city. I was relieved when I set foot in […]

His first powerful piece about vaccines and community protection reminds us of how far we’ve come in public health and the responsibility we share to safeguard one another.

“The best way we can honor lives lost to preventable illnesses is by building a healthier future together.”

Seth’s voice is one that inspires reflection and change. At Santovia, we felt it was vital to collaborate with a young writer who can represent the voices of the next generation, and we’re so proud to share his writing with our audience.
