On this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast we’re diving into a topic that feels a little bit crazy, but one I keep seeing everywhere: how AI might change the medical and wellness world. I’m not here to argue whether it’s good or bad, or whether we should all embrace it—I just want to explore what it looks like, share my experience, and start a conversation.
AI is here, and whether we like it or not, people are curious about it. Recently, I tested it out with my own lab work, and honestly, the results floored me. I’ve been getting labs done every three months since I was fifteen, but this was the most detailed interpretation I’ve ever received. It broke down every thyroid marker, explained what each meant, and even suggested which supplements might be supportive, with specifics on amounts and timing. That’s not something I’ve ever gotten from my doctor, and while I trust and value my endocrinologist, this was information I could actually use in my day-to-day life.
It made me think about the gap between what conventional medicine gives us and what we sometimes need to really feel well. Doctors are incredible, but often they don’t have the time to talk about supplements, nutrition, or lifestyle shifts. AI didn’t replace my doctor’s expertise—it aligned with much of what he already told me—but it also added details that gave me new clarity and direction. For someone like me, who wants to be an informed patient and advocate for my own health, that felt empowering.
Of course, I’m cautious. I don’t want AI to replace human thinking, and I don’t want to rely on it blindly. But as a tool, as a way to gather information and ask better questions, I see its potential. It reminded me that being informed changes the way we approach our health. We shouldn’t throw our hands up and let someone else have all the control over our bodies. We’re the experts in ourselves. Doctors know the system, but we live in our bodies, and we have to bridge those two perspectives if we want real healing.
So today’s conversation isn’t about robots taking over the world or AI replacing doctors—it’s about how technology might give us more insight, more tools, and more confidence as we navigate our health journeys. It’s about self-advocacy and self-education. I encourage you to keep asking questions, keep learning, and never surrender your own power when it comes to your body.
Thanks for hanging out with me today on Everything’s Messy Podcast. Until next time!
