The health and wellness thing that we just said is worth over four trillion dollars. It's all about sensationalism and trying to get the biggest bang for your buck. If you're going to pull the oil over people's eyes, you can't do real science. So I've been trying to bring these two worlds of critical thinking and the health and fitness speak a little bit closer together.
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.
