## Resource

Are you unknowingly exposing your children to health misinformation disguised as expert advice? 80% of child health content on social media is actually paid advertising, and most parents have no idea they're being targeted. Hannah McLane, trend analyst at Spate NYC and new mother, reveals the shocking reality behind viral parenting trends. As an expert who tracks consumer behaviour and digital trends for major brands, Hannah exposes how companies manipulate parents through social media, which "health" products are pure marketing hype, and what's actually backed by science. She shares her insider knowledge on identifying fake content, the real connection between gut health and brain development, and the exact tools she uses to vet products for her own daughter. Dr. Murray Clarke breaks down why the microbiome is the foundation of child health, explaining how 90% of neurotransmitters are actually produced in the gut. Together, they discuss practical strategies for navigating the overwhelming world of digital health information while making evidence-based decisions for your family.
