The Fact Check
Alexis M. Léveillé
The Fact Check deals with the most important question: is X true? Physical Therapist Alexis M. Léveillé (@nobullshitphysio), Chiropractor Eliud Sierra (@the_rehab_chiro) and Physiotherapist Diego Hidalgo (@skepticalphysio) and frequent expert guests will try to shed light on controversial topics related to fitness, nutrition, physical therapy and other healthcare-related fields. It is said that “The world wants to be deceived, so let it be deceived” as seen in the Latin phrase “Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur”. We reject this premise and aim to create a path built on truth and trust for those open to break free from the biases of our mind.
