In this episode, we look at the millennial generation’s unique relationship with health. From chat rooms to social media to wearable tech, millennials are used to having boundless information just a click away. So how does their post-internet world connect to millennials’ tendency of taking health matters into their own hands?

To answer these questions, host Sara Ivry is joined by a Stephen Fiskell, a millennial patient, and Dr. Gol Golshani, a millennial doctor specializing in internal medicine. Over the past few years, Stephen has taken a radical—and creative—approach to improving his health by tracking everything from his eating habit to his sleep. Doctor Gol Golshani also joins the conversation. As a millennial herself, Dr. Golshani has a multifaceted understanding of how her generation views their own health and engages with the healthcare system.
