Why Social Media Matters

Social media isn’t just popular anymore.

​

It’s how people are learning about nutrition and health. Over 5 billion people use social media worldwide, spending more than 2.5 hours per day scrolling, liking, and sharing content. That’s billions of daily impressions shaping beliefs, behaviors, and food choices faster than research can keep up. In fact, only about 50% of adults report checking the credibility of health information online, meaning misinformation spreads unchecked.

​

For dietitians, this isn’t optional. It’s a call to step in. Viral trends and influencers can promote unsafe diets, excessive supplement use, or fad advice, affecting followers’ health, long-term habits, and trust in credible sources.

​

Yet, professional adoption among dietitians remains uneven. Studies show only 38–90% of dietitians are using social media professionally. That gap between qualified experts and untrained influencers is growing, leaving audiences vulnerable to unsafe advice. Unchecked nutrition misinformation has real consequences: poor dietary habits, rising chronic disease rates, disordered eating, and even mental health challenges. Your knowledge, expertise, and evidence-based guidance are needed now more than ever.

​

Every post you make is a chance to educate, correct myths, and guide people toward safer, smarter choices. You can reach thousands instantly, improve health literacy, and establish yourself as a trusted voice in nutrition. Social media moves fast, but that speed is exactly why your expertise is so powerful.

​

By stepping into this space, you’re not just sharing information—you’re shaping behaviors, influencing habits, and making a tangible impact on people’s lives. At the same time, you’re building professional credibility, expanding your influence, and creating career opportunities in healthcare, wellness, and media. Your voice can outpace misinformation, your guidance can improve health outcomes, and your presence can inspire trust and confidence in nutrition knowledge.

Before You Move On...

By the end of this module, you’ll:

  • feel confident taking your next steps without overthinking

​

​

Take a moment to notice how far you’ve come.

 

What felt confusing before should feel a little clearer now.

​

Once you’re ready, it’s time to move from the technical side to the personal side.
