Ep 12 | Why Gen Z Doesn’t Trust the Medical System (And What They’re Doing Instead)


Listen Later

What happens when a generation grows up watching health decisions become headlines, and starts asking questions for themselves?

In this episode, Alexandra sits down with college student Analise Hess for a thoughtful, down-to-earth conversation about why many in Gen Z are rethinking their trust in the medical system. From navigating school vaccine mandates to watching loved ones experience both healing and hardship in the healthcare world, Analise shares the personal moments that led her to dig deeper and ask better questions.

We talk about how her generation is seeking out health information in new ways: Through podcasts, social media, and trusted communities, and what it means to make informed decisions in a culture that doesn’t always make space for curiosity. Analise also shares how she started a women’s health club on her college campus, what her peers are really saying about doctors and medications, and why she believes advocating for your health is part of stewarding your future.

Whether you're a parent hoping to better understand your teen, a student trying to find your voice, or someone who remembers when you first started questioning things, this episode offers encouragement, insight, and plenty to think about.

You’ll hear:

  • Why Gen Z is more cautious about the medical system
  • What young adults are asking about vaccines, birth control, and psych meds
  • Where Gen Z is getting health info, and how they vet it
  • How to support younger generations in asking good questions
  • Follow Analise and Hillsdale College’s Women’s Holistic Health Club
