Can you trust health news?

Breaking news! This podcast episode is going to change everything you thought you knew about health … or is it? Catchy headlines and viral videos are everywhere — but can you trust them?

She explains how studies become headlines, the red flags of health misinformation, and how to separate evidence-based advice from hype.
