01
Start with accountable sources
Public-health agencies, recognized medical organizations, accredited professional bodies, and transparent research institutions should explain who wrote the guidance, when it was reviewed, and what evidence supports it.
02
Separate education from a prescription
General articles can explain concepts. Individual advice about symptoms, medication, pregnancy, an eating disorder, or a medical condition requires an appropriately licensed professional.
03
Watch for marketing disguised as evidence
Be cautious when every claim leads to one supplement, device, certification, or paid solution—especially when risks, limitations, and uncertainty are missing.
