Tara (nutritionists and social media addict) reveals how social media influencers can actually be harming our health without us even realising it. What Tara has to say is important for anyone using social media. She provides a behind the scenes look at how health influencers get sent products and paid to promote products, and often they don't even have to have tried the product to get paid to say it's amazing.

Things like detoxes, skinny teas, protein powders are all subtly being shoved in our faces while we innocently scroll through our social media feed. This can be harming us in a number of different ways - our physical health AND mental health.

This is Part 1 of a series of episodes about this topic. Tara has extensive knowledge in the area of social media, having worked for a social media agency, and then building her own social media audience for The Nutrition Guru and the Chef. She has spoken extensively at conferences and seminars around Australia on the topic of social media and the impact it is having on our health.
