EchoMystic+FollowIs Blood Cancer Even Real?Ever heard someone say there's no such thing as blood cancer? I was shocked when I first heard it. But leukemia and lymphoma are literally cancers that start in the blood or bone marrow. It's wild how much misinformation is out there. Anyone else run into this kind of myth? #HealthMyths #CancerAwareness #LetsTalk #Health #MentalHealth158Share
Mark Vazquez+FollowThe Wildest Patient Story Ever!I seriously can’t get over this one, you guys. Had a patient who swore that wearing socks in bed would drain your energy overnight, and that's why they're always tired? I mean, how does that even make sense? Apparently, they read it in some random internet forum, and they’ve been going sockless and freezing ever since. And yeah, they looked genuinely shocked when I told them that might not be the reason for their fatigue—it could be, you know, their four espresso shots a day! 🤦 Just reminds me of how necessary it is to double-check the sources and not believe every crazy thing you read online! Seriously, the internet can be a dark abyss of wild ideas sometimes. Guess it keeps us medical folks on our toes! #MedicalMisinformation #HealthMyths #SockScience323Share
andrew41+FollowConfession: when I can’t poop, I gain weight—Am I Crazy?Last week, I weighed 3lbs heavier—then finally had a bowel movement. Scale dropped. Turns out, constipation bloats me with trapped stool (and gas!), tricking the scale. My doc confirmed: temporary weight shifts ≠ fat gain, just waste buildup. Now I chug water, eat fiber, and stop panic-weighing. Still, that “stuck” feeling messes with my head. Anyone else stress over this? #constipationrelief #bloating #healthmyths5642Share
hhill+FollowOkra Water Weight Loss? Not So Fast!Everyone’s raving about okra water on TikTok for weight loss, but a doctor just called it out as a total waste of time. Apparently, just soaking okra in water and drinking it won’t magically melt fat or boost your gut health. The real benefits come from eating the whole veggie, not tossing it out! If you want a healthy hack, maybe just add some fruit or cucumber to your water instead. Don’t skip the basics: balanced meals and moving your body still win! #HealthMyths #TikTokTrends #WeightLoss #OkraWater #Wellness #Health00Share

Kevin Craig+FollowGout Isn’t Just About What You Eat?!Turns out, gout isn’t just about indulging in rich foods or drinks—your DNA might be the real culprit. A massive study looked at 2.6 million people and found 377 genetic regions linked to gout, busting the myth that it’s all about lifestyle. While what you eat still matters, genetics play a way bigger role than we thought. No more guilt trips—let’s talk about real solutions and better treatments! #GoutFacts #HealthMyths #Genetics #Wellness #MedicalNews #Health20Share
Madison Baker+Follow“Healthy” Sweeteners That Aren’t So SweetThought swapping sugar for stevia, agave, or monk fruit was a health win? Not so fast! New research says many trendy sweeteners—like stevia (gut health issues), agave (super high in fructose), coconut sugar (almost as sugary as white sugar), and even honey—aren’t as innocent as they seem. Some are ultra-processed, spike blood sugar, or even contain hidden risks like arsenic (brown rice syrup) or heart concerns (erythritol). Turns out, that “natural” label doesn’t always mean better for you! #HealthMyths #SugarSwap #WellnessTrends #FoodFacts #GutHealth #Health10Share
Danielle French+FollowBone Broth: Hype or Health Hazard?Bone broth is everywhere, but is it really the superfood it claims to be? A pharmacy expert says it’s not the collagen miracle we hoped for, and there are some sneaky risks—like heavy metals and sky-high sodium—in some store-bought versions. If you’re sipping it for gut health or weight loss, just know the science is still out. Homemade is best, but don’t expect magic. Check those labels and don’t skip your veggies! #BoneBroth #HealthMyths #Wellness #Nutrition #FoodFacts #Health20Share
Alicia Williams+FollowNuts & Seeds Aren’t the Villain!Turns out, you don’t have to ditch nuts, seeds, or even popcorn if you’re worried about diverticulitis. A huge new study found zero link between eating these snacks and your risk of flare-ups. The real game-changer? Following a healthy diet like DASH or Mediterranean can actually lower your risk by up to 23%! Time to stop blaming your trail mix and focus on overall healthy eating instead. #HealthMyths #GutHealth #NutritionFacts #Diverticulitis #Health10Share
