Is laughter the best medicine?

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris help hack your life to make it better.

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris figure out if laughter actually make us healthier. We get into why laughing feels so good, what it does to our brains and bodies, and whether humour really can help us through difficult times. From inside jokes to chaotic group chats, we’ll be talking about the moments that make life feel lighter - and asking if laughter really is the best medicine!
