Dr. Mike on how to be alert, not anxious, about your health

Dr. Mikhail Varshavski, better known online as Dr. Mike, is a board-certified family medicine physician and YouTuber who uses social media to educate the public on healthcare. In this special episode recorded at the Aspen Ideas: Health conference, Dr. Mike and Shoshana discuss the current shortage of primary care physicians and how to think critically about health influencers, tech wearables, and AI. Then Shoshana shares a counterexample from genome researcher Michael Snyder. Michael wears 8 tech devices—smart watches, rings, and glucose monitors—and makes the case for his vision of healthcare where tech can help you be more proactive about your healthcare.
