The medical field has been battling the rise in inaccurate medical information being presented online. A recent study did a review on the spread of health-related misinformation on social media and found that misinformation is often more popular than accurate information (Soc Sci Med. 2019 Nov; 240). There are influencers, bloggers, and even healthcare providers with limited to no training in the area they are talking about who have large audiences following their advice. It appears we forgot to question who we are listening to before following and sharing what is said.
When it comes to your health there is a reason that there are specialists. No one can be an expert in everything and when you are truly an expert you understand that. You don’t go to the foot doctor for a heart condition for a reason. That may sound silly and obvious, but the damage that you can do listening to the wrong advice can be just as dangerous as something that extreme.
This is why C.A.R.E. Wellness Group was formed. It is clear to everyone on the team that the field is being overtaken by people doing more harm than good. We went into our fields to help people and we took the time to be properly educated and trained and all have over 15 years of experience in our areas of expertise. It’s a privilege to have people trust you with their health and wellness and we’ve joined forces because we CARE.
