Review of A User's Guide to Cheating Death

I was not familiar with Caulfield's work prior to this series, so I was lured in solely by the title, expecting some impartial, scientifically based information on living a long healthy life. After two episodes, the show seems like a reductionist point of view that just wants to make fun of the crazier elements of the health and wellness crowd. To be fair: there is a ton of pseudoscience/outright scams out there and more power to him if he wants to call BS on them but I'd rather the show was called "Debunking stupid wellness fads" if that is his intention.To make matters worse, he (as another user very accurately said) "throws the baby out with the bathwater" and is dismissive of valid, scientifically tested wellness trends, so in episode one we have him performing a little scene along the lines of "look at me doing yoga- ouch! isn't this a stupid idea?" when there is solid evidence yoga can be beneficial for health and wellness. followed by "look at me bounce on a mini-trampoline - yikes!! I think I'm going to fall off- isn't this a stupid idea?" (when these mini trampoline exercises were designed specifically in line with medical science to quickly activate and stimulate the lymphatic system) and on and on.in this vein. If you like the "Caulfield brand" and want to see him sneer at ideas he thinks are dumb, by all means indulge, but don't expect to learn anything.
