What we're drinking: Harmless Harvest Watermelon Flavored Coconut Water 

TOPIC: 

Nearly one in every three Americans have faced some kind of identity theft attempt in their lives, but the topic doesn’t get a lot of air time. In this episode, we dive into the different types of identity theft, what to do if you’ve had it happen to you, and how to protect your personal information. We highlight who’s most vulnerable to identity theft and why, and we also talk about the common ways that thieves can obtain sensitive data. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The typical outcomes of identity theft
• Warning signs to look out for if you feel like your information has been compromised
• Why medical identity theft is particularly dangerous
• How to protect children and seniors from identity theft  
• Why we love password managers 
• The simplest way to restrict access to your records so new credit lines can’t be opened 
• The first step to take if your identity has been stolen
