Let’s Get Real with Dr. Jill Grimes: Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness

Dubbed the "College Doc," Dr. Jill Grimes joins Teri and Ella for an unfiltered conversation about the realities of college life today. The author of The ULTIMATE College Student Health Handbook: Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness, Dr. Jill, shares her expertise on how pills and W33D have evolved since Teri's college days, the most common issues students face with alcohol and STDs, and the critical challenges surrounding mental health and depression. She also dives into practical hangover cures and answers those burning college questions, like how long food lasts in the fridge and strategies for tackling test anxiety. This episode is packed with real-world advice for navigating today's campus life with confidence and awareness, which is critical for parents and college students.
