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!

Less than 1% of NIH funding goes toward fertility. Let’s all let that sink in.”👀

That stat stopped us in our tracks.

Fertility is often talked about like it’s only a women’s issue — but 50% of fertility challenges are related to the man. As Zach French, Executive Director of The Surrogacy Foundation points out, this isn’t just a ‘her’ problem. It’s an ‘everyone problem.’✨

Yet… the research funding doesn’t reflect how many people are impacted by infertility, IVF, surrogacy, pregnancy loss, or the emotional rollercoaster that comes with trying to grow a family.

Zach shares why fertility should be treated as a societal issue — not a ‘woman’s issue’ — and why advocating for family-building resources matters more than ever.

Whether you’re in your 20s thinking about the future, in your 30s navigating fertility conversations in real time, or in your 40s reflecting on the journey — this conversation matters.

Because behind every statistic are real people wondering:
Will I get to have the family I dreamed of?

We need better research.
Better support.
Better conversations.
And way less stigma.
