In this episode, we sit down with AI literacy expert Jeremy Carrasco to explore how AI is reshaping the way we consume health information. We discuss the rise of AI-generated misinformation, why "seeing is believing" no longer applies, and practical strategies to help you become a more informed consumer while guiding your patients through an increasingly complex digital world.

For many healthcare workers, the biggest barrier isn't motivation—it's access.

In this episode, Suzanne reflects on her recent experience completing a half marathon at nearly 50 years old—an accomplishment she never expected to pursue again after swearing off long-distance racing more than a decade ago. What began as a tribute to her late mother, an inspiring runner who completed marathons and half marathons well into her 80s, became a journey of self-discovery, gratitude, and healing.

Along the way, Suzanne shares lessons about letting go of perfectionism, finding joy in the process rather than the outcome, and appreciating what our bodies are capable of at every stage of life. She opens up about the unexpected role the training played in helping her process grief after the loss of her mother. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that growth often comes from embracing the journey—not just the destination.
