If you’ve ever gone down a Google rabbit hole at 11 pm trying to make sense of your symptoms, you’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re doing what most people do when they feel unheard, confused, or still don’t have answers.
Most patients don’t Google because they want to self-diagnose.
They Google because they’re still hurting.
Because something doesn’t feel right.
Because they’ve been told their labs are “normal,” but their body clearly isn’t.
As a doctor, I don’t see Google searches as annoying. I see them as a signal.
A signal that someone is looking for clarity, reassurance, and a path forward.
Medical training teaches us something
Google can’t:
How to connect symptoms across systems.
How stress, hormones, digestion, inflammation, pain, sleep, and mental health are all talking to each other.
How to ask better questions, interpret patterns, and understand why the body is expressing symptoms in the first place.
You don’t need to figure this out alone.
You don’t need to guess.
You don’t need to carry the stress of trying to be your own doctor.
My role isn’t to dismiss your research. It’s to help you make sense of it.
To slow things down.
To listen carefully.
To look deeper.
And to help you feel supported instead of overwhelmed.
Because healing shouldn’t feel isolating.
And your symptoms deserve more than a search result.
