In this episode, we reflect on the biggest themes that kept showing up across our first batch of episodes and how researching health trends on social media has changed our own relationship with these platforms. We call out the recurring patterns we kept encountering, why certain messages spread so fast, and what gets lost when health information travels through algorithms. We also share how stepping back from doom scrolling has affected us personally—especially as working moms and professionals—and why “digital hygiene” may matter more than most of us realize.
