Winning the War Against Misinformation Online, w/ Dr. Geeta Nayyar

🚨Dr. Geeta Nayyar is a bestselling author, globally recognized rheumatologist, and former Chief Medical Officer at Salesforce and AT&T. She brings a rare full-spectrum perspective across clinical care, health systems, and the broader technology industry, and we were honored to welcome her to How I Doctor this week for a timely discussion of one of the biggest issues in healthcare: Medical misinformation.

In the episode, she breaks down a critical reality: While physicians are forced to follow outdated rules around posting on social media and building a voice online, TikTok influencers get to peddle medical misinformation freely without consequence.

Dr. Nayyar explores what actually needs to change in order to make this a fair fight and put physicians back in the driver’s seat, including:

👉 What hospitals must do to modernize outdated policies around social media and reverse the double standard that puts physicians at a disadvantage
👉 How solving critical access issues and cutting down appointment wait times will actually help tackle misinformation online at the same time
👉 Why more physicians should feel empowered to start using their voice on social media and share real, research-based information
👉 And why reclaiming public trust starts with showing up in the spaces where patients already are

❤️ Thank you Dr. Nayyar for leading the charge.

Physician Spotlight: Dr. Lara Zibners

5 questions with Dr. Lara Zibners, board-certified pediatrician and pediatric emergency medicine specialist who is the Co-founder and Chairman of Calla Lily Clinical Care, which is transforming drug delivery for women.

1. Lara, what do you think the public most misunderstands about being a physician in 2026? I don’t think the public understands just how “not okay” many physicians are. The system is under huge strain and many of the enjoyable parts of caring for patients have been taken away from us. I think it would shock many people to learn just how unstable the system is as a whole, but also just how fragile the state of healthcare providers is.

2. Forget pizza parties — what’s one way you’ve coped with burnout that’s actually made a difference? I quit. Just kidding. I’ve pivoted out of clinical medicine and that was because of life circumstance, not burnout, in my situation. But I’ve definitely felt it at times and it is something that we need to keep talking about. On our podcast, Unstable Vitals, Adam Brown and I talk a lot about burnout and the answer we keep coming back to is diversify your portfolio of activities. Don’t let your whole life be about the job. Don’t let the whole job be about one type of activity.
