In a world where health trends go viral overnight and misinformation spreads like wildfire, it’s harder than ever for clients—and even professionals—to separate fact from fiction. From anti-aging “hacks” to flashy sound bites designed as clickbait, fitness myths often dominate social media, leaving well-intentioned individuals confused and misled about their health choices.

This evidence-based webinar, led by expert panelists Sabrena Jo, PhD, Lauren Shroyer, MS, and Araceli De Leon, MS, arms you with the tools to cut through the hype and stand out as a trusted voice in the health and fitness industry. You’ll discover how to critically assess popular fitness and nutrition claims, recognize the red flags in trending content, and champion what truly works.

But we’re not stopping there—this session dives into the psychology behind why myths catch on so easily, what the latest research reveals about proven practices, and how to inspire clients with actionable advice that sticks. Walk away with the insights and strategies you need to be your clients’ go-to resource on their journey to sustainable health and wellness.

Upon completion, you will be able to: 

  • Identify and debunk common fitness and health misconceptions—especially those fueled by social media and pop culture.
  • Distinguish between evidence-based practices and trendy fads using a proven critical-thinking framework.
  • Use myth-busting strategies to foster trust, enhance adherence, and support lasting success in client relationships.
