Ice Baths to Carnivore Diet: We Try (and Judge) the Wildest Wellness Trends

Ever feel like the wellness world has gone completely off the rails? You're not alone! In this hilarious and honest episode, we dive headfirst into the internet's most bizarre, popular, and expensive health fads. Evan comes to the table loaded with ideas, and we —three ordinary people—are forced to give our unfiltered opinions, experiences, and thoughts on topics like ice baths, the questionable science behind EMF shield stickers, the accessibility of grounding (putting your feet on the grass), and the extreme limits of the carnivore diet. We poke fun at the absurdity, share our skepticisms, and talk about what actually worked (and what made us slightly ill). Be warned: this episode is heavy on the humor and even heavier on the medical warnings! Tune in to find out which trends are actually worth the effort and which are just a waste of money.
