Jess and Inge take on a serious topic that is super important to them. If you weren’t sure what informed decision making was, you’re about to find out. With the goal of empowering the people, they discuss the who, what, where, when and hows of making personal, medical decisions.

-How to know if the information is accurate and reliable and not just Joe Schmo’s opinion. 

-A deep dive into google: how to assess your sites. 

-Be aware of a little thing called bias. 

-Decisions are personal, it’s yours to make. 

-Remember that pandemic we are in? How are you making decisions about it?

Honey-do list:
