A short conversational transcript (two speakers, including Lisa) about an obsession with health and medicine, hypochondria, and how medical knowledge affects behavior — including anecdotes about pregnancy and references to health-focused public figures. The speakers describe becoming overly health-obsessed, hypochondriac tendencies during marriage, and a doctor advising against reading pregnancy information.

I think I was always into doctors, to tell you the truth. I low key. I low key am obsessed with health things. I think that's why I just have a healthy lifestyle also because I just know too much. I always gave my ex husband credit because in the tenure of our marriage, I was probably the biggest hypochondriac of my life. So poor Matt had to deal with that version of Lisa.
Lisa sick.
It's. I was just like, there's nothing, there's nothing wrong with me like ever. It's just that.
Something like, oh my God, it could be this, it could be that.
Yeah, because you learn too much, you know, when you, when you become obsessed with things that are medical and health related. Just like the guy right now who wants to beat aging. What's it? Brian Johnson.
Oh yeah, the guy wants to be aging. Yeah. He spends million of dollars a year.
Because if you learn so much, you want to become that, right? And I remember when I was, you know, successfully pregnant with my son Alex, and my doctor knew how I was who I still see the same doctor because I'm a very monogamous person. She said to me, lise, do not read anything about pregnancy. Ignorance is bliss for you.
