The Health and Wellness Lie | Nick Tiller on Skeptical Inquirer Presents

The Health and Wellness Lie
with Nick Tiller
Skeptical Inquirer Presents | Thursday, April 30
We spend more on health and wellness than almost anything else. But the fad diets, expensive supplements, and quick-fix biohacks aren’t improving our health; they’re making us fatter, sicker, and unhappier.
Join us on Thursday, April 30, at 7:00 p.m. ET for a Skeptical Inquirer Presents livestream with exercise scientist Nick Tiller. With unflinching scrutiny, Tiller exposes how wellness marketing exploits our biases, why social media amplifies the loudest voices rather than the most credible, and how bad science drives health misinformation. From weight-loss drugs and cold plunges to wearable tech and alternative therapies, get ready to see wellness culture for what it is: dangerous, dishonest, and long overdue for a reckoning.
