  • Useful for anyone

    As someone living with chronic illness, GHLF has been a life saver and source of quick and accurate information. The Healthy Advocates Podcast is a good way to catch up on what’s important for me to know. The hosts are like friends discussing important topics for those of us in the chronic illness community. We are often overlooked and forgotten, and this podcast makes it easy to stay informed, with people who “get it” and understand what our life is like.

  • Not that great

    Maybe I heard a lesser show, but I was disappointed. One of the podcasters had poor diction. There was no information presented. I felt like I was listening to two friends complain about the end of the mask mandate on public transportation. I’d rather hear from well informed healthcare professionals.
