LSE Health held a special event celebrating the launch of Bad Influence, Deborah Cohen's urgent and eye-opening investigation into how social media has transformed healthcare.
With NHS waiting lists at record highs and GP appointments increasingly hard to secure, health influencers have filled the gap: promising everything from weight loss to wellness, often with little evidence to back their claims. From Ozempic trends to AI diagnoses, preventative screening to wearable tech, Cohen reveals how we've reached a point where medicine and marketing have become impossible to tell apart. In this compelling talk, award-winning medical journalist and broadcaster Dr Deborah Cohen explored the commodification of health in an age of anxiety, examining why millions now turn to Instagram doctors and celebrity wellness gurus for medical advice, and what this means for our collective wellbeing.
The talk was followed by a reception where copies of Bad Influence will be available for purchase.
