There’s just so much to say here about the reality of what people think they know about health vs what they actually know!
This is actually a well-established phenomenon called the “Dunning-Kruger Effect.”
“The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability in a specific area overestimate their competence, while experts often underestimate theirs, leading to a disconnect between perceived and actual skill, often visualized as “Mount Stupid” where confidence peaks with minimal knowledge. This happens because a lack of knowledge also prevents individuals from recognizing their own deficiencies and the complexities of the subject, creating ‘meta-ignorance.’” - Google Gemini
Everyone with a six pack, Whoop, and run club membership thinks they’re a health expert on social media… beware!
