            📚 Tips on Choosing Reliable Health Information

            Because the internet has both gold and garbage, here are quick filters I encourage clients to use:

            • Favor URLs ending in .gov, .edu, or .org (especially for health topics).

            • Look for recently updated content with readers seeing dates.

            • Check for author credentials or medical review.

            • Be cautious of “miracle cure” claims or strong product pushes.

            • Always cross-check with your physician or specialist before applying new guidance.
