### Segment 1 (00:00 - 01:00) []

About 40% of Americans, including half of those under the age of 50, say they get health information not just from doctors, but from social media influencers. And a new report from the Pew Research Center revealed that the vast majority of those influencers do not have real medical credentials. They are not real experts. 28% of the accounts said they were run by an entrepreneur, aka somebody who's running a business, not a medical practice. Only 17% had what you might consider to be traditional medical credentials. They're a doctor or they're a nurse. The rest are dieticians and nutritionists, life coaches, athletes, people who tout their life experience like being a mom to somebody with ADHD or autism. and 16% of the accounts did not site any particular credentials at all. So why are people flocking to these accounts anyway? I think people have lost trust in the system and experts have struggled to respond to that skepticism and influencers have been able to rush in and fill the trust void and that can be a very dangerous combination.
