Skeptical Inquirer Presents: "The Health & Wellness Lie"

What is "Skeptical Inquirer Presents"?
Skeptical Inquirer is a bimonthly American magazine published by the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry dedicated to promoting science and reason. They've recently introduced "Skeptical Inquirer Presents" - live online presentations from leading experts in science, skepticism, medicine, media, activism, and advocacy, all devoted to the cause of advancing science over pseudoscience, media literacy over conspiracy theories, and critical thinking over magical thinking.

Every two weeks, Skeptical Inquirer Presents will bring you a new live event, emceed by the brilliant and hilarious comedian Leighann Lord, co-host of the Point of Inquiry podcast. And it’s all happening from the comfort of your laptop (or any other screen), wherever you are in the world, because big ideas can’t be contained in conference halls.

Event Title: "The Health and Wellness Lie" with Nick Tiller

Details for this event:
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.

NOTE: This live Zoom event is free, but advance registration is required, so sign up right now.
