Look for clarity, not pressure
Be cautious when a website uses promises, urgency, or vague words that suggest a product will work for everyone. Trustworthy information explains what the seller or provider does, what it does not do, and where to find the details.
Check the source
For a factual health claim, look for a credible source and consider whether it applies to the exact product and context. Be especially careful with claims based only on social posts, testimonials, or comparisons to prescription medications.
Keep your health information where it belongs
A general wellness website should not need your diagnoses, prescription details, insurance information, or lab results to give you an educational next step. Save those details for a secure relationship with the appropriate provider.
