Welcome to another empowering episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor! In this episode, Miles Hassell MD dives deep into the world of irrational and unnecessary health fears — and how to avoid falling for them. From worrying about chlorine in your shower water to chasing every trendy health gadget or supplement, this episode teaches you how to sift through health claims with critical thinking and focus on what really matters for your well-being.
Key Takeaways:
- Don't let fear-based marketing drive your health decisions.
- Prioritize evidence-based lifestyle habits like real food, regular movement, and sunlight.
- Use three independent lines of evidence to verify any health claim — and don't forget to check for opposing views!
- Focus on what you can control: whole foods, daily vigorous movement, and cutting out obvious excesses like sugar and alcohol.
