PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: 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.
With unflinching scrutiny, exercise scientist Nick 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.
MEET THE SPEAKER: Nick Tiller, Ph.D., is a British exercise scientist, researcher, and writer. For more than two decades, he's worked across elite sport, clinical populations, and the general public, helping people see through the health and wellness lie. A research associate at the Lundquist Institute, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Tiller is a columnist for Skeptical Inquirer online and author of The Skeptic’s Guide to Sports Science. In 2023, he was named a fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry for his work promoting science literacy and critical thinking
