Episode Details

It's sometimes hard to know what advice online (and offline) is credible or not, and seeing someone who is a 'Dr', 'nutritionist' or even 'dietitian' might make us assume they are a trustworthy source... but that's not always the case. Dr Idrees Mughal MBBS, MRes, DipIBLM (@Dr_Idz on socials) is joining me today to demystify the cloud of confusion around who you should trust.

We explore the key red flags to look out for (and some green flags to keep in mind!) when you're looking to follow content creators' advice about health/wellness. Dr. Idz also shares the challenges of providing personalized nutritional advice in the healthcare system and why there are so many limitations placed on providing patients with tailored advice.

Hit play to learn which health/wellness influencers are full of red flags vs full of solid logic and advice. 👀
