When Isa Watson set out to earn her degree at MIT, she wasn’t just chasing a dream—she was chasing who she wanted to be. But nothing could have prepared her for the day she found she no longer cared. Isa opens up about the tragic accident that took her father’s life and left her mother without memory—the crash that made her reckless, but only because she couldn’t afford to grieve. Through the overwhelm and holding her family together, Isa shares how MIT showed up—not with words, but with action. They made her feel like she was the only student who mattered. This is not just a story about tragedy. It’s a story about grace, grit, and what true community looks like. It’s a reminder that behind every degree is a journey—and behind this one, a daughter determined to rise.

With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
