Michael was recently at a Grateful Dead concert when a person asked him, "What is a popular health trend that you see on Instagram that you think is totally silly?"

He'll answer that question but also explain important information about the internet and how it's changing the health information we receive and act upon.

Topics include:

• How the internet has changed the state of health information. What it was like before the internet, and what it's like now.
• Some benefits of having more health information online.
• Some downsides of having more health information online.
• The "Great Endarkenment" theory of online health information.
• How social media in particular has impacted health practices.
• What I think is the silliest health trend.
• Larger lessons on how to think about, vet, process, and use the health information you see online.
