January 15, 2025 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Shanti Appelö, Registered Dietitian and Health and Wellness Spokesperson at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. Social media has a significant impact on health decisions, especially among Gen Z and millennials, with over 70% engaging with nutrition and health content. While it offers beneficial resources like recipes and workout tips, it also presents risks due to unverified information from influencers. Users should be cautious and verify the credentials of those providing health advice, as many self-proclaimed experts lack substantial training compared to registered dietitians.
