The Health 101 Class You Wish You Had

This Feels Urgent is your corner of the internet for health questions that feel urgent – but don’t have to be.

We’re here to help you feel better, spend less, and navigate your health. Whether you’re re-stocking the medicine cabinet, curious about the latest wellness trend (don’t get me started on SkinnyTok), or just figuring out what to do next.

A place for health stuff you should know- but no one taught you

I’m not trying to replace your medical provider – just here to help you feel less lost in the meantime. We break things down so you can show up to appointments feeling empowered, not anxious.

The system is confusing. Let’s make it less so. From understanding your insurance to getting the most out of your visit, this section breaks down the behind-the-scenes of healthcare in plain, helpful terms – so you can advocate for yourself like a pro.

Over-the-counter, under-explained. The pharmacy aisle can be a lot – let’s talk about what actually helps, what to avoid, and when to skip it all together.

For when you’re not at 100%, and don’t want to spiral. Cold? UTI? Weird rash? This section covers how to handle common issues at home (or when to get help), so you can feel better, faster – no doom scrolling required.

Because prevention isn’t just vitamins and lemon water. From daily routines to smart screenings, this section is all about low-effort ways to take care of yourself before something feels urgent.

The ‘am I the only one?’ section. Hint: you’re not. Sexual health, mental health, embarrassing symptoms, and all the “wait, is this normal?” moments. No shame, just real talk from someone who’s seen some things.
