On this episode of The Wellness Transcription Podcast, Dr. Patrick Gurley, PharmD, MSCN gives his listeners a variety of tips and tricks they can use to help them navigate the vast array of nutrition information on social media. With so many medical professionals, health coaches, biohackers, and influencers giving you their own unique spin on which diet is best, what supplements to take, what equipment to buy, and what foods to put in your cart at the grocery store, it can be rather difficult to separate what is fact from what is fiction. If you find yourself asking if the information on your social media feeds is objective, trustworthy, and rooted in strong scientific evidence or cherry picked, biased, and severely lacking in evidence, then this episode is for you.
In the first half of the podcast, Dr. Gurley breaks down ten "nutrition influencer" tactics that should immediately make you skeptical, and analyzes some common "wellness buzzwords" that might not mean what you think they mean. In the second-half of the podcast, Dr. Gurley gives you insight into what accounts you should be following by explaining the tactics that accounts promoting high quality, evidence-based nutrition information use consistently and effectively in their content. Lastly, Dr. Gurley gives his listeners some useful tips to them help establish a consistent wellness routine in 2024. We hope you enjoy this episode, and many blessings to all of you in the new year.
