[5] After completing her Ph.D., Holt-Lunstad joined the faculty of the department of psychology at Brigham Young University as an assistant professor. [6]
Holt-Lunstad specializes in psychology and neuroscience. [7] [8] Her research focuses on the long-term health effects of social connections and includes a meta-analysis on the effects of loneliness and social isolation on mortality.

Holt-Lunstad was the first US-based researcher to publish studies connecting poor social support to morbidity. [1]
As a result of her in-depth research, Holt-Lunstad was selected to serve as a scientific advisor for the Australian Coalition to End Loneliness in 2017. [12] She has also been called to testify in front of the United States Congress Special Committee on Aging regarding her research. [1] [13]

I'm married, and I have two sons.
