Got a symptom? There's an influencer for that. A supplement for that. A subreddit, a detox, a cold plunge for that.
But what actually works — and what could actually hurt you?
Introducing: Health vs. Hype with the American Medical Association — a science-backed health podcast that breaks down viral wellness trends, health misinformation, and the advice flooding your feed.
Emmy-nominated science communicator Trace Dominguez sits down with influencers, the curious, and most importantly doctors to fact-check viral health claims – everything from intermittent fasting and protein maxxing to creatine. Cold plunges and more! Not to cancel the trends, not to hype them more, but to understand them.
Your health is your greatest asset. Don't leave it to an algorithm.
Let’s slow the scroll…and start asking better questions.
Health vs. Hype: new episodes drop every other week starting April 14th. Available wherever you listen to podcasts.
