Responding to Friends and Family with Different Belief Systems

When engaging with friends or family who follow different health practices or beliefs, it is important to consider the relationship and their level of interest in discussing the topic. If they explicitly seek your opinion, it is crucial to first understand their knowledge and level of understanding. It is generally best to avoid challenging beliefs if it does not benefit them or if they have not asked for your input. In cases where the stakes are low and the activity is relatively harmless, it can be acceptable to let them engage in the placebo-mediated activities they believe in.
