Never before in history has there been a time when information has been so easily accessible to us. Any question, worry or confusion can seemingly be answered or solved by opening up our laptop or smartphone, typing our queries into a search bar and receiving a multitude of content, sites and videos offering us answers.

How many of us have flocked to our search engines when we feel unwell, or trawled through endless reels to find the answer to our health issues? Most likely, all of us. And yet, with this ever-growing plethora of wellness content at our fingertips (literally), humanity has never been more unwell.

In my experience, and from what I have observed, this platter of information often gives way to more confusion than answers. Of course, there are some basic, scientifically proven facts about our health that do ring true for all human beings — processed food is bad, being outside is good, wearing sunscreen, etc. But there is also so much information given by people who are not medically trained on the internet, so much outside noise telling us “do more of [insert latest health trend] and you’ll feel good”, that it can be a puzzle knowing where to begin.
