YMyHealth

YMyHealth is a digital health resource for and by Generation Y. For more on all things , visit ymyhealth.com. Are you a member of Generation Y?

Are you also a millennial who despite feeling young and invincible has been diagnosed with a medical condition or disease? Maybe you are a friend of one or even know a family member who is facing this challenge. It's not easy. Most people, doctors included, often assumed that those of us in our 20's and 30's are healthy. But, in reality millennials often face the same health challenges at a much y

ounger age and with a different twist. The health problems come at a time when we are in the process of completing our eduction, building our careers and starting our families. When health problems happen, millennials need a place to turn to that provides health information in a way that is tailored toward the unique challenges they face and in a way that fits in with our on the go lifestyles. Fortunately, YMyHealth is here to help! YMyHealth is a digital health resource created for and dedicated to those of us in Generation Y. We offer episode packages of videos on different medical conditions and diseases that affect our generation. We showcase patient stories to learn about what our fellow millennials have faced and how they have overcome those challenges. We do Q and A sessions with knowledgeable physicians to talk about what matters to us most. We even get to hear the advice and experience from patients’ friends and loved ones. Finally, we have super cool 3-D medical animations that cover the core knowledge about a medical condition—anatomy, normal function, signs and symptoms of disease, diagnosis and treatment. All of these videos are less than five minutes long and accessible by computer, iPhone and iPad anytime, including long after we have walked out of the doctor's office (when questions often start to come up). WHY don’t you join us? Subscribe to the YMyHealth Channel on YouTube to see our first episode package. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to learn even more. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes!

Botox isn’t just a conversation for celebrities. For many millennials, the anti-aging conversation started in our 20s and has been a regular topic of discussion among friends ever since.

The latest stats, which are from 2024, showed that nearly 9.9 million Botox treatments were performed in the U.S.—up from fewer than 800,000 in 2000. So if you’re considering it, what should you actually know?🤔

Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, reducing their ability to contract—and that’s why the effects eventually wear off. But choosing who injects you matters, too. Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner Isabel Bogdan, DNP, Bertha Isabel Bogdan | Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of belev.co recommends finding a qualified provider who understands your anatomy and can speak specifically to your goals.

Before you book, she recommends asking:

👉How are you going to target the sphincters in different areas?

👉What is your goal going to be aesthetically for me?

👉What will the procedure involve?

👉Are there any potential risks?

👉What do you expect my outcome to be?

You know you’ve found the right provider if they are willing and able to fully answer your questions.

Think you’re not a caregiver because you don’t live with your aging parents or provide 24/7 care? Think again.💜 Caregiving can look like coordinating appointments, managing finances, researching care options, handling legal details, or simply being mentally on-call—all while trying to keep up with your own life.

Dementia Educator and Dementia Educator | Carrie Aalberts founder Carrie Aalberts reminds us that caregiving exists on a spectrum. Your role may change over time, but that doesn’t make it any less valuable or vital. And for younger caregivers, maintaining friendships can be especially challenging.

Her advice? Protect your heart, be clear about what you need, and stay connected to people who understand. Sometimes you don’t need someone to fix it—you just need someone to listen. And if you’re a friend of a caregiver, a simple “You don’t have to answer. Just know I love you” can mean more than you realize.✨

Think ADHD is just about being distracted or unable to sit still? 🤔 Licensed mental health counselor Bailey Pilant Bailey Pilant | AuDHD Therapist says one of the biggest misconceptions starts with the name itself. ADHD isn’t an attention deficit—it’s difficulty regulating attention. That’s why she believes Attention Dysregulation Disorder would be a more accurate name.

For many women, hyperactivity is internal. It can look like racing thoughts, chronic exhaustion, feeling constantly behind, and a mind that won’t shut off.

Despite the growing conversation around ADHD diagnoses in adults, only about 7% of people with ADHD receive an accurate diagnosis in their lifetime. Bailey breaks down common misconceptions, barriers to diagnosis and how to get an evaluation. Plus, the number one thing she wants women experiencing symptoms–officially diagnosed or not–to know.

What would you do if you discovered your family history could change your future? After losing her 28-year-old brother to colore**al cancer, Zakela Mickens learned she also had Lynch syndrome—the same inherited genetic mutation that caused his cancer. Instead of letting that diagnosis define her, she decided to use it to help others.

As a mom of four, Zakela is raising awareness about Lynch syndrome, encouraging preventive screenings and helping families understand the value of genetic testing.

While Lynch syndrome raises a person’s lifetime risk of colore**al cancer, Zakela also knows getting genetic testing to learn if you have increased risk isn’t always affordable. That’s why she’s working to help individuals and families at higher risk access the testing they need—because even helping one person could change the course of an entire family’s future.

Ever wonder if health headlines tell the whole story?🤔 Bill Thach, a re**al cancer survivor diagnosed at 33 ,and an extensively trained research advocate, says it’s worth looking beyond the headline before drawing conclusions.

So, when he sees a headline connecting ultra-processed foods and cancer, he asks: “What’s the intention behind the message, and who funded the research?” Whether it’s a food company, pharmaceutical company, supplement brand, or influencer, he believes it’s worth looking at multiple studies, considering potential conflicts of interest, and not letting one attention-grabbing headline tell the whole story and determine all the foods you eat.✨

No one expects to find out they have cancer through a voicemail at work. But that’s exactly how Jeremy Echols, who is a Stage 4 colon cancer survivor, learned he had colon cancer. Then came another devastating surprise. After being told his cancer was likely Stage 1, a PET scan after surgery revealed it had already spread to his liver and aorta. His diagnosis was actually Stage 4.

Beyond a genetics counselor and dietitian, Jeremy found there weren’t many resources designed for someone like him—a young, early-onset colore**al cancer survivor, especially as a young, Black man. So he took matters into his own hands. By searching social media, he discovered organizations like Fight CRC, Colore**al Cancer Alliance, and Man Up To Cancer, where he found support, community, and eventually a path to becoming a Fight CRC Ambassador.✨

If you’re navigating colore**al cancer, don’t stop searching for your people. Whether it’s online or through advocacy organizations, the right community can make all the difference. Jeremy’s story is a reminder that connection can bring hope—and that no one should have to face cancer alone.💙💙

What if the thing that saves your life is listening to your body when something feels off?

That’s exactly what happened to Elizabeth Wachsberg Elizabeth Wachsberg . After years of symptoms and pushing for answers, paying attention to her bowel habits and advocating for herself helped lead to her diagnosis of Stage 4 colon cancer. Today, Elizabeth marks a major milestone as a seven-year colon cancer survivor!!🎉🎉🎉

We are grateful that each day she continues to use her story to help others recognize the warning signs they shouldn’t ignore and empowers us all to advocate for ourselves.

In our conversation, Elizabeth opens up about the symptoms that made her sound the alarm with her doctors, what “trust your gut” means to her now, and what continues to give her hope — even as colore**al cancer has become the #1 cause of cancer-related death in people under 50.

It’s a powerful reminder that you know your body better than anyone else, and speaking up could make all the difference.
