Jen G., who works as a nurse in a neurological unit, joins us to talk through some of the health scares that feel most common ... or, at least, that Liz worries about most. She serves up pretty fantastic nuggets of calm-yourself-down wisdom, such as this one: "Sometimes, the body just does weird things, and most of the time, it's just trying to compensate for something else that's happening." Preach!

Nothing in this episode is meant to provide specific medical advice; we're just two friends talking generally about what sorts of health concerns we have. We strongly urge you to talk to your own doctor or other medical professionals if you have concerns about something happening with you. In fact, talking with your doctor is something I think we should all probably do more fully and more honestly than we're generally predisposed to doing. So skip Dr. Google and go straight to the person who can help you directly. OK?

Join us next week for another health-fears conversation! And share this episode with someone you love. It might just prompt them to go see their doctor, and who knows? Maybe save their life in the process.

Tell your friends you love them.

Oh, and: I love you, listeners!
