A Solid Alternative to Googling Your Symptoms ft. Casey Gueren

We sat down with our former co-worker, health journalist Casey Gueren, to chat about her new book It's Probably Nothing: The Stress-Less Guide to Dealing with Health Anxiety, Wellness Fads, and Overhyped Headlines. We talked about health anxiety in the age of COVID, as well as how to make sense of everything we read online about health and wellness. There are tons of practical tips from Casey and the experts she talked to for her book. If you’ve ever wondered about the supplements you keep seeing all over FitTok, wondered whether to believe that new health trend or study, or have a tendency to assume every minor pain or skin thing you experience is a rare and deadly disease, do we have a treat for you (this episode).
