Sick & Good Podcast
Dustin Mesick, RDN and Colin Goodwin, PsyD are cancer survivors inspired by their personal experiences and incorporated this into their individual career paths in nutritional services and clinical psychology, respectively. The original concept to offer a support group that focused on body and mind was shifted with the emergence of the pandemic and evolved into the virtual platform of a podcast. In choosing the name of the podcast, Sick & Good Podcast was chosen as a double entendre, incorporating the last names of the co-hosts and promoting the possibility of a dialectical nature in physical illness (sick) and overall wellness (good). The mission statement for the Sick & Good Podcast states the purpose is to have conversations with medical and other healthcare professionals related to the cancer field on broad topics ranging from diagnosis to treatment and the recovery process with the hope to provide education and levity to cancer patients, survivors and other interested listeners.

Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Research with Caroline Dorfman, PhD
Dr. Caroline Dorfman, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in the Duke University School of Medicine. Caroline has conducted extensive AYA cancer research and offers her findings on topics of pain, fatigue, distress and sexual reproductive health. We examine barriers for onco-fertility and reproductive preservation as financial and value-based decisions and the conversation closes on health behavior issues and difficulties in overall well-being for the AYA cancer population.
