I am so sorry about the newsletter last week. In all of the confusion coming home from Marbella I forgot to update some of the text around my guest on episode 184, Nick Tiller. I have updated it now and am sending out a bonus edition with the update. I hope that you have heard the episode, Nick made a terrific guest and had some really great things to say.

Nick Tiller-Working to Help People Understand Misinformation

About Nick according to Nick: Dr. Nick Tiller is a physiologist, researcher, and science communicator who specializes in exercise science and the myths of the modern wellness industry. He is a research associate at the Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, and the author of The Skeptic’s Guide to Sports Science — named one of the “Best Sports Science Books of All Time.” He is a regular contributor to Skeptical Inquirer, UltraRunning Magazine, and other outlets, where he examines the intersection of health, wellness, and consumer culture. In 2023, he was elected Fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry for his efforts to promote science literacy. When not in the lab or writing, Nick is also an accomplished ultramarathon runner, bringing both professional expertise and lived experience to conversations about health, performance, and the wellness marketplace.

If there’s one thing you should take away from this episode of the Tridoc Podcast, it’s this: health and wellness are not about quick fixes or miracle cures. In this episode, Jeff and Nick Tiller break down the pervasive myths that plague the wellness industry, revealing that most products are more about marketing than actual benefits. They highlight the fact that the only real path to wellness is through hard work and commitment. They delve into the reasons why so many people fall for these absurd claims and how social media plays a significant role in spreading misinformation. The duo also emphasizes that while some supplements have been shown to work, the effectiveness is often exaggerated. So, if you’re tired of being bombarded by the latest wellness trends and want to cut through the noise, this episode is your ticket to clarity.
