5 Health Myths Your Doctor Still Believes (That Are Ruining Your Health) | Mind Pump 2856

In this episode the guys break down the five biggest health lies of the last 40 years — dietary cholesterol, fat and carbs making you fat, low sodium being best, avoiding the sun, and the myth that lifting weights isn't great for fat loss. They also get into a study showing church attendance predicts happiness better than income, a deep conversation on duty-free friendships and what makes relationships actually meaningful, Walmart ditching self-checkout due to rampant theft, and Vita Bella's free 10-minute consultation offer. Then they answer live caller questions submitted to mplivecaller.com, coaching listeners on air.
