A refreshing change from most health and wellness documentaries
16 October 2018
This series of episodes on wellness brings a refreshing evidence-based look at a range of health, diet, fitness and other health claims that are being made by many practicioners who wish to separate the "worried well" from their money.

Tim Caulfield brings an open mind and inquisitive personality to the exploration of various health claims, services, and products. He interviews people who are seeking answers. He talks to providers of treatments. And ultimately he brings the state of the science to the discussion. He seeks out additional details from appropriately qualified scientists and doctors who can tell you about why steaming your nether regions is unwise, or why injecting stem cells into your body may be premature. It may be too soon to buy foods based on your DNA sequences too.

If you are looking for a good science-based understanding of many wellness claims, this is the documentary for you. If you sell detox potions and vitamin treatments, you will probably dislike what he finds.
