Stop Believing Everything You See on Social Media

In this episode, we tackle the overwhelming amount of fitness and nutrition information coming at us from social media and break down how to separate evidence from nonsense. We mythbust some of the most common claims, talk about the importance of putting information into context, and explain why a claim should be backed by evidence before you change your behavior. This conversation is about thinking critically, addressing the fears that keep you stuck, and focusing on what actually works instead of chasing the latest “shocking” health claim.

We talk about:

-analysis paralysis & information overload

-taking things out of context

-addressing your fear-based marketing

-NEAT and BMR

-thin doesn’t equal healthy

-do you need thyroid medication?
