Trust. It’s the very foundation on which The Roots Of Loneliness Project is built. In fact, we feel that the LAST thing you should ever do is wonder if what you are reading is accurate or medically correct.
Whether you’re resonating with an article about feeling lonely after the loss of a loved one, or reading one of our studies or surveys on loneliness, our first priority — even before writing our first sentence — is ensuring medical correctness and accuracy.
Upholding this mission means that:
- All content is fact-checked, vetted and reviewed for medical accuracy by one or more members of our medical review team
- Information is sourced from trustworthy media and medical publications
- Medically peer-reviewed studies and research are utilized whenever possible
- Articles are updated on a frequent and regular basis as new, credible information becomes available
To help us ensure this vision, we also invite you to please contact us if you feel any of the information on our site is inaccurate or needs review. Finally, we’re always looking for passionate experts to join our team — just reach out to us via our contact page.

MEET OUR TEAM
Hello, my name is Christie Hartman.
I'm a psychologist, author, and coach who specializes in helping people have awesome relationships. I have an M.A. in clinical psychology and my Ph.D. – both from the University of Colorado – is in behavioral genetics, which is the study of the genetic underpinnings of behavior.
I've worked on research projects that examine developmental disability, ADHD, criminal behavior, and addiction.
In my post-science career, I've focused on relationships: how to find the right person, what makes a relationship work, and why they fail. I’ve also written 5 dating advice books on the subject.
Believe it or not, science can explain a certain amount of behavior regarding love, sex, and relationships, and I enjoy exploring those topics.
Hello, my name is Jaime Seeman.
I am a board-certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist practicing in Omaha, NE, also known as Dr. Fit & Fabulous. Through my website and social media profiles, I help countless patients and online clients with disease prevention, ketogenic therapy, and human optimization.
I did my undergraduate training at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I was also a collegiate athlete for the Cornhuskers. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise, Nutrition and Health Sciences and a special interest in this area.
I then attended the University of Nebraska School of Medicine where I received my Doctor of Medicine degree. I then went on to complete my residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Nebraska Medical College serving as a Chief Resident. I am also a current fellow in Integrative Medicine at The University of Arizona.
I am married to my husband Ben and have three wonderful daughters.
