In today’s episode of Between Two White Coats, Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster tackle a topic that affects just about everyone: social media and medical advice. From viral wellness trends to influencer “miracle cures,” it’s getting harder to tell what’s helpful… and what’s just marketing. They discuss:


• How social media influences your health decisions

• The difference between credible medical advice and paid promotion

• Why emotional reactions can lead to poor health choices

• The danger of “sample size of one” success stories

• How to evaluate sources before trusting what you see online


They also share real-life examples—from trending fitness hacks to questionable health products—and give you practical tools to think critically, ask better questions, and make informed decisions about your health.


👉 Bottom line: Not everything that looks healthy online actually is.
