In this final episode of Health Stuff, Dr. Priyanka Wali and Hari Kondabolu look back on the episodes, guests, and health lessons that stuck with them throughout the season. They revisit conversations about racism in medicine, sleep, vaccines, AI, psychedelics, emotional sensitivity, solitude, and the ways our health is shaped by more than individual choices. They share the practical advice they still use, the health myths they wish would disappear, and how making the show changed the way they think about medicine, healthcare, and their own lives. Thank you for listening.
