Episode Synopsis

Gen Z is reshaping the way we understand health and well-being. With constant access to information, communities, and digital tools, they’re turning social media and wearables into everyday companions for stress management, self-care, and physical health tracking. This shift is changing how young people engage with healthcare—more real-time, more data-driven, and far more open about mental wellness than any generation before them.In this episode of Working with Gen Z, we’re joined by Dr. Serina Lewis, a respected expert in digital wellness and preventive care. Together, we explore how Gen Z blends connectivity with self-awareness—using wearables to decode their bodies, and platforms like Instagram and TikTok to normalize discussions on burnout, anxiety, and support. Dr. Lewis breaks down the opportunities and pitfalls of this digital ecosystem: the power of community-led advice, the rise of algorithm-influenced health behaviours, and the thin line between empowerment and overload. We also uncover what leaders, educators, and families can do to support healthier digital habits and what this signals for the future of tech-enabled healthcare.45 Best Gen Z Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025Find Us OnlineDr. Serina Lewis :  Website, LinkedInNikhil :  Website,  Linkedin, Youtube & Book
