Make sure to follow up with researched facts, citing reliable sources like CDC, WHO, or peer-reviewed studies. Encourage members to respectfully discuss and ask questions.

Be prepared for nuanced discussions and provide balanced perspectives, especially for popular but controversial dietary approaches.
For sensitive topics such as mental health, use compassionate language and avoid judgmental tones. Select templates that allow for open-ended discussion rather than definitive statements, and emphasize support resources. Collaborate with mental health professionals, if possible, to ensure accuracy and empathy in your content.
Monitor trending health misinformation (e.g., 'miracle cures' or viral 'detox' claims) in your community and use myth buster templates tailored to those topics.
