How do we know what’s true when it comes to our health?
In today’s world, information comes at us from every angle—news outlets, government agencies, social media feeds, influencers, even well-meaning friends. Some of it is evidence-based. Some of it is opinion. And some of it, unfortunately, is misinformation.
Here are a few ways to sort through the noise:
✅ Look for the source. Is the claim coming from a reputable medical organization, peer-reviewed study, or licensed healthcare professional—or just a viral post?
✅ Check for consensus. If multiple independent experts and respected institutions agree, that’s a good sign the information is trustworthy.
✅ Watch out for extremes. Headlines or posts that rely on fear, blame, or quick-fix promises are usually red flags.
✅ Understand evolving science. Recommendations change as we learn more (think: nutrition, COVID, or hormone health). That’s not inconsistency—it’s progress.
✅ Ask your provider. When in doubt, bring it to a trusted healthcare professional who knows your health history and can help you apply evidence to your life.
At the end of the day, your health decisions deserve clarity—not confusion. That’s why at Pikes Peak Family Medicine, we focus on cutting through the noise to give you personalized, evidence-based care.
✨ Let’s spend less time chasing internet myths, and more time focusing on what actually helps us live healthier, longer, and fuller lives.
