Do you ever find yourself hearing or reading about someone struggling with a health issue, only to wonder if you might have it too? Do you worry a headache could mean you're about to have an aneurysm or that a simple cut could get infected and cause a life-threatening risk? You're not alone! Perhaps what you're feeling is anxiety, not another illness. Of course, we're not doctors, but listen as we dive into the complex topic of health anxiety and as we share our own experiences, including late night searches on "Doctor Google," only to realize it's gas! 

Write us a review! Thanks :)
