'Have you tried _____?'

Have you tried yoga? Or changing your diet? Well-meaning people propose lots of ways for people with chronic illnesses to treat their conditions. But managing a chronic illness can be more complicated than we might think.

This week, Elena and Harv speak with:

• Lara Parker, BuzzFeed deputy director and author, about navigating privilege as it relates to chronic illness
• Sneha Dave about the importance of building community with others who have chronic illness
• Lara Bloom, professor at Penn State College of Medicine, on why it can be so hard to find treatments that help
