More Details

A healthfluencer is a type of social media influencer specializing in health-related topics like fitness, nutrition, and mental well-being. They share advice, personal stories, and product recommendations to inspire healthier lifestyles among their followers. Healthfluencers are not all qualified experts and often collaborate with brands, promoting wellness products or services to their audience.

• Pros: Accessibility to health advice, motivation for personal growth, community support. Their relatable content can encourage positive lifestyle changes and make wellness more approachable.
• Cons: Potential for misinformation and the promotion of unrealistic ideals or commercialized health trends that may prioritize profit over genuine well-being. Even when not focused only on generating income, many of the most popular healthfluencers promote unrealistic fad diets and lifestyle hacks.

When engaging with healthfluencers, it's very important to critically assess their credentials and align their advice with credible sources, such as:

• World Health Organization (WHO) - Global authority on public health guidelines and initiatives.
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - Trusted source for health and fitness-related research and recommendations.
• American Council on Exercise (ACE) - Expert resources for fitness education and certified training programs.
• National Health Service (NHS) - Reliable advice on fitness, nutrition, and general well-being.

An Academic Look at Healthfluencer



As it is formed by merging two words into one, healthfluencer is a portmanteau word. It is a combination of the words "health" and "influencer". The word portmanteau originates from the French word for a large suitcase, made up of a blend of "porter" (to carry) and "manteau" (a cloak).

Healthfluencer can also be considered a neologism (i.e., a newly coined word or term which has emerged into everyday usage). Some neologisms are formally accepted into mainstream language (at which point, they cease to be neologisms), and some wither until they can longer be considered everyday terms. A neologism can be:
• A completely new word (e.g., oversharing).
• A new combination of existing words (e.g., digital detox).
• A new meaning for an existing word (e.g., sick).
