S1E14 - Social Media & Your Health: How The Feed Shapes What We Believe (Rerelease)

For many young adults, the first stop for health advice isn’t a GP — it’s the feed. TikTok trends, celebrity wellness routines, polished “health hacks”… all shaping how we see ourselves long before we speak to a clinician.In this episode, Dr. Vishvaraj Rathod explores how platforms amplify emotion over accuracy, why certain health narratives go viral, and how misinformation spreads long before experts have a chance to correct it.Through research from BMJ, JAMA, global health agencies, and real-world examples, we look at how the digital world shapes body image, anxiety, comparison culture, and even identity.
