About this episode

In this episode of Byja Radio, Dr. Byron Jasper and PatientZero tackle the growing problem of over-indexing health information online. From TikTok videos and AI chatbots to wearable devices and wellness trends, they break down how easy access to health content can quickly turn into confusion, anxiety, and bad decisions. The conversation explores the danger of self-diagnosing, the rise of “cyberchondria,” and why social media advice, flashy supplements, and health gimmicks should never replace real medical guidance. They also highlight the value of boring but proven habits like better nutrition, sleep, exercise, and consistent primary care, reminding listeners that technology can be a helpful tool, but it should never become the doctor.
