“We created this podcast to help our community learn about health topics in a fun and engaging way,” said Michelle Rai, IEHP’s chief communications and marketing officer. “I am looking forward to the second season and all the insights that will be gained by breaking down complex subjects into relatable discussions.”
“Covering Your Health” launched in Nov. 2023, with IEHP’s Chief Executive Officer Jarrod McNaughton as the podcast’s inaugural guest. Longtime iHeartRadio personality Erives was brought on to host. Her husband, Chris Donovan, is the show’s producer.
In the year since, Erives and team have welcomed experts to speak on topics ranging from men’s mental health to what it is like training for the Paralympics. Season 2 is expected to deliver more on its promise that 15 (or more) minutes out of your day could lead to a healthier lifestyle.
“The feedback I’ve received throughout the year has been extremely positive and inspires me to take on more challenging topics for the upcoming second season,” said Erives. “Learning along with our ‘Covering Your Health’ community has been such a win-win.”
New episodes of “Covering Your Health” are available every other Monday through the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. A video format is available to view on IEHP’s official YouTube page at www.youtube.com/@IEHPHealthcare.
