Calling Out Misinformation

Mark Carroll
About this episode

Have you heard about the EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) Machine?



Apparently, according to some influencers, this machine is the "quickest way to burn glutes and back fat" and this could replace a 90-minute workout with just 20 minutes of EMS training.



In today's episode, I share my concerns about social media influencers promoting methods with misleading claims. I explain the difference between calling out misinformation and personally attacking someone.



Remember everyone! My intent is to address false information and not to label individuals as "bad". Noting inaccuracies online and expressing disagreement isn't bullying! It is important that we clarify misinformation.
