Social media influences healthy lifestyle and diet changes

Claire McMonagle and Bella Boone • January 30, 2026

In this episode of King Street Conversations, we explored how social media promotes healthier lifestyle and diet changes. We sat down with students Tessa Rigert ’27 and Torin Witek ’26, who both recently made healthier changes to their lifestyles. They shared the most difficult parts, the physical and mental results they notice, and what inspired them to take on these lifestyle changes. Additionally, we interviewed Mrs. Christina Cauliffe, Head Athletic Trainer, who shared how to decipher the truth versus false information regarding health on social media.
