How do you make sense of the conflicting information about health in the news?

And what do you do when the news feels overwhelming, full of despair, or touches on personal fears & struggles you’re having?

In this episode I’ll talk about how to avoid falling into the trap of bouncing from one fad to the next based on the latest headlines, and I also talk about the reaction to Robin Williams’s recent passing and the tendency I’ve been seeing for people to try to turn his death into a “teachable moment”—-and what I propose we do instead.
