Our ability to update our underlying genetics is kind of lagging behind the speed with which the environment is changing. Our brains, although adept at recognizing patterns, have never been good at really recognizing the true underpinnings or underlying reasons for those patterns. What we've been able to do is identify them and that and science actually gets to the reason behind things. And that's where the disconnect is.
What are the top myths in the health and fitness industry? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly explore pseudoscience, “quick fix” fads like Ozempic, and how to navigate wellness with exercise scientist, Dr. Nick Tiller.
