What happens when two friends with a passion for health decide to create something unique for their generation? In this first episode of the YMyHealth podcast, co-hosts Melissa Schenkman, Founder of YMyHealth, and Julie Woon, Content Marketing Strategist of YMyHealth, take you on a journey through the origins of their platform—from its blog beginnings to becoming a hub for credible, age-relevant health information.

They discuss how they started with blogs, adapted during the pandemic, and why a podcast is the perfect next step. You’ll hear about the challenges of building a health platform, the importance of relatable content, and their plans to bring real stories from patients, caregivers, and healthcare experts to life.
