Ep. 285: Are Health Influencers Making You Sicker? The Truth You Need to Hear

Ep. 285: Are Health Influencers Making You Sicker? The Truth You Need to Hear

You trust them. You follow them. You might even buy what they recommend!

But what if your favorite health influencer is quietly putting your health at risk?

In this eye-opening episode, we unpack the hidden dangers of social media health advice—from viral “wellness hacks” to expensive tests and supplements that may do more harm than good. Research shows that much of the health content shared by influencers is misleading, biased, or driven by financial incentives—not science.

We break down how influencer culture fuels self-diagnosis, unnecessary treatments, and wasted money—and why even well-meaning advice can backfire when it’s not personalized to your body.

We also look at what factors to look for to let you know that an influencer IS trustworthy.

🎧 If you’ve ever wondered, “Should I try this?” after seeing a trending health post or video… this episode could change how you think forever.
