Clickbait Clinic with Stacey Dooley

Clickbait Clinic with Stacey Dooley will uncover the truth behind some of the wildest health trends taking over our social media feeds.

1 in 3 Brits now turn to social media for health advice, but how can we sort the miracle cures from the snake oil? Stacey will work with leading doctors and scientists to learn about the internet's most hyped medical claims: from fitness boosters to pain beaters, youth elixirs to fat busters, the team will trace the digital breadcrumbs to figure out how a trend went viral, meet the key influencers driving the buzz, and put the science to the test. With NHS waiting lists growing, and with social media playing an increasing role in all of our lives, The Clickbait Clinic's final verdict could be life changing... or lifesaving.
