I do think that stillness of what is happening.

Why am I feeling this?

Developing that intimacy with yourself can actually be enough to heal loneliness,

whether you're with people or not.

And we all crave community and we all crave connection. You know, I think ultimately

that's what we all want. Let it out. Let it out.

Hi, welcome for the first time to Let It Out. My name's Katie Dilbao and this week on the podcast, my friend, Dr. Patty Kim. She's a naturopathic doctor, an acupuncturist in Los Angeles with me. She's also my close friend and one of my favorite people to be around and she's been on the podcast before. So if you're new here,

maybe go back to part one or you can just jump in here, but you'll learn more about Patty and her practice and her studying art and then getting into naturopathic medicine and acupuncture and her dog

olive. And we talk about being a slow mover, deprioritizing self-care.

We talk about naturopathic medicine and gentleness within that. We talk about rituals and how we met

in ceramics class all in that first part of the podcast, which you can go back to and listen to. We'll make sure it's linked.

But in this conversation, she returns and we recorded for an hour in my apartment in this

weird L.A. thunderstorm. And we talk about something that we call secret single behaviors

as to single people who have those. who have those and the Sex and the

City episode that comes from that. I talk about a really lovely childhood memory that I have. We talk

about wellness versus enjoying your life. We talk about connection, quick, simple eating, weird things that we we eat that we love. We talk about how loneliness is, we talk about connection, quick, simple eating, weird things that we eat that we love.

We talk about how loneliness impacts physical health because we took your questions.

And I said it in this episode and I meant it.

Dr. Patty, I think, will be a fixture in this show where she'll come, you know, every month,

every quarter.

We'll answer questions about

well-being, but we'll also just have a chat. That's really casual and you'll get to know me more
