Sometimes, despite our best efforts, our bodies simply don\\u2019t work the way we want them to. Maybe it\\u2019s an occasional occurrence for you or maybe it\\u2019s something you live with every day. We take on all sorts of messages about what health is (and what it\\u2019s not), how we get healthy, and how we stay healthy. But is all of the social messaging we absorb really helping us measure health? Or is it something that has been designed and packaged to tell us how to measure our own morality and worth?

Tune into my conversation with two of my students, Deb Malkin and Michelle Kapler, to learn why health is so challenging for so many of us, how we try to control our health, and how (as usual) trying to control something we can\\u2019t control, can make everything feel worse.
