Wellness communities are filled with advice, but not all of it is accurate. Members often struggle to separate fact from fiction on trending topics. These myth buster templates help you spark informed discussions, debunk common misconceptions, and keep your community focused on evidence-based wellness.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Myth buster posts tap into our natural curiosity and desire to learn the truth, making them highly engaging. By challenging well-known misconceptions, you invite members to question what they have heard and share their own experiences or beliefs. This encourages critical thinking and creates a lively dialogue rooted in facts, not rumors.
Psychologically, people are more likely to engage with content that piques their skepticism or challenges their assumptions. When community managers provide clear, well-sourced corrections, it builds trust and authority within the group. Over time, myth buster posts foster a culture of learning and respectful debate, strengthening the community's value.

After some discussion, provide the researched facts with credible sources. Encourage members to ask follow-up questions or share resources. You can use these templates as weekly features, conversation starters, or to address trending topics.
These templates are designed for all platforms. On forums and Facebook groups, encourage longer discussion threads. On Twitter or Instagram, use concise versions and encourage replies or story polls. In chat-based communities like Slack or Discord, use them as prompts for live discussions or quick polls.
Aim for once a week to keep discussions fresh and members engaged, but adapt frequency to your community's activity level.
Use reputable organizations like the CDC, WHO, peer-reviewed journals, or government health agencies for sourcing.
Encourage respectful dialogue, provide clear evidence, and moderate discussions to keep them factual and civil.

Promptly correct your post, link to credible sources, and thank members for catching the mistake to maintain trust.
