Where should AI fit into your healthcare? When can it be helpful, and when should you put your phone down and call your doctor—or seek emergency care?This episode isn't about replacing medical professionals. It's about using technology wisely to fill the gaps, ask better questions, and feel more informed along the way.If you've ever opened ChatGPT after a doctor's appointment because you still had questions, this conversation is for you.Follow SpoonFull of Strength to see podcast clips and release info at:Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/spoonfullofstrength/⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@spoonfull.of.strength⁠⁠Looking for chronic illness apparel?
