Before you stop the scroll and go try that health trend – you’ll first want to listen to this episode. We’ve seen everything from helpful to harmful ideas on social media this year including: 

·         Using snail mucin for skin care

·         Drinking adrenal cocktails to lower cortisol

·         Ditching vegetables for the carnivore diet

·         Sipping tadpole water to lose weight

Listen to the latest episode of The Healthiest You podcast, where we talk about some of the top health trends on social media with Tina George, MD, family medicine physician with Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN).
