#038 | Fighting Misinformation Without Losing Your Mind

Ever feel like your evidence-based voice is being drowned out by viral wellness nonsense? SAME. This episode is for all the health pros who are sick of the fear-mongering, overwhelmed by misinformation, and wondering if it’s even worth showing up online.

Spoiler: it is. And we’re here to remind you why.

We’re diving into what it’s really like to work in the online nutrition and wellness space today — the exhausting cycles of “hot takes,” the pressure to go viral, and how we’ve personally navigated the noise without burning out. Plus, we’re sharing our thoughts on boundaries, content strategy, and how to speak truth in a way that actually lands.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The reality of being a credentialed health expert in the TikTok era
• How fear-based content manipulates the algorithm (and what to do instead)
• The mental drain of constantly “correcting” misinformation
• Ways to show up online without spiraling
• Why the world still needs your voice — even when it feels impossible
  

Key Takeaways:

• Misinformation spreads faster — but that doesn’t mean it should win.
• You don’t have to call people out by name — call out the claims instead.
• Sharing truth doesn’t have to be boring — lean into fun, creative formats.
• Boundaries make content creation sustainable (hello, mute button 🙌).
• You can’t do it all — and that’s okay. Do what works for you.
  

This episode is equal parts pep talk, strategy sesh, and media therapy. So if you’ve ever shouted “I cannot deal with this crazy today” at your phone… this one’s for you.
