Asking Doctor Mike About Health in Technology
Episode Description
This week, Doctor Mike stopped by to talk about everything from Apple Watches to smart water bottles! There are so many new health features in tech products nowadays that we felt it was about time we asked someone about them. Luckily, Dr. Mike is a practicing physician who knows a thing or two about the human body, so we just asked him! This was a fun and informative sit down that we hope you enjoy!
