In today’s world, we see health info in all kinds of places - on social media, YouTube, podcasts, and more. But not everything we see online is true or safe, and some of it can actually be harmful to your health. Here are 3 quick tips to help you find credible health information:

- Check the source: is the information coming from doctors, clinics, or public health agencies you know and trust?
- Look for facts, not fear: Be careful with posts that use scary language, say “doctors don’t want you to know this,” or make promises that sound too good to be true.
- Ask your health provider: If something sounds off, talk to your doctor or local health staff before making changes to your health.

Good health starts with good information!
