Ep. 109: Why you Should be Weary of Online ”Health Gurus”

I used to believe I was an “expert” in weight loss because I knew how to lose weight successfully. And even though I was unqualified, I offered advice left and right, even when it wasn’t asked for. 

 

Nutrition, weight loss, exercise, and health are all very individualized and nuanced topics. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. If someone offers you a “quick fix” or magic pill solution, that’s a major red flag. 

 

It’s important to recognize that what worked for one person rarely works for the majority. And even though you may be well-meaning, it’s important that you don’t dish out unwarranted advice to friends or even strangers on the internet. 

 

In this episode, I share why dishing out advice can be helpful, and what you can do instead.
