Is that health ad a scam? Know the signs.
Every day, we’re bombarded with health and wellness ads promising miracle cures, secret remedies, and life-changing results. But how can you tell what’s real and what’s a scam?
Our Health and Wellness Ad Scam Risk Tool—based on research from Dr. Bernie Garrett at UBC—helps you spot misleading health claims in ads, social media, and online promotions.
What’s Inside?
✔️ A quick scoring system to assess if an ad is truthful or deceptive
✔️ Common red flags like fake testimonials, exaggerated promises, and “secret” cures
✔️ A risk scale to determine if an ad is low, moderate, or high risk

It helps you to think about the Benefits, Risks, and Alternatives to a decision. It asks you what your gut or intuition says and it helps you to clarify the next steps that make sense to you.
Achieving better health starts with clear, actionable goals. Our Health and Wellbeing Goal-Setting Worksheet helps you identify what matters most to you and create a simple plan to get there.
