How to know if a health tip is true?
Health Savvy You is the health literacy podcast that teaches you how to think about your well-being,…
not just what to think. In a world full of conflicting wellness trends and online health advice, getting more tips isn't the solution—knowing which ones actually matter to your body is.
Hosted by Dr. Navjot Buttar, an epidemiologist, health communication researcher and dentist, this show helps you cut through medical jargon, understand health information, debunk viral wellness trends and build the critical health literacy skills needed to make more informed health decisions. We bridge the gap in doctor-patient communication, giving you the tools to ask the right questions, understand medical evidence, and advocate for yourself.
You get more health literate with each episode as we bring to you lessons on:
How to evaluate health information including how to spot health misinformation and tell the difference between science and marketing hype.
How to make smart health decisions by applying general health concepts directly to your unique medical needs.
How to have successful doctor’s appointment by asking better questions, discussing your symptoms, and advocating for yourself where needed.
In special guest episodes, we bring you evidence-based practical tips to improve your health straight from the experts who are spending their days in researching and reviewing the latest health innovations.
Stop guessing through the noise. Subscribe to Health Savvy You today, take control of your healthcare journey, and learn how to choose what truly matters for your health. Episodes released every two weeks.
