#332: Why Wellness Pseudoscience Is So Dangerous for Your Health w/ Dr. Jonathan Stea

from The FIT40 Podcast · host Bryan Fitzsimmons

In this episode of the FIT40 Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Jonathan Stea, clinical psychologist and author of Mind the Science, to tackle the rise of misinformation and pseudoscience in mental health, fitness, and wellness. We dig into why so many people fall for myths online, how social media spreads misleading claims, and what it really means to practice science literacy. Dr. Stea breaks down common fallacies in the wellness industry, explains the role of genetics and social factors in health, and shares practical ways to separate facts from hype so you can make informed choices about your health.HOW TO FIND DR STEA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_jonathan_steaWebsite: https://www.jonathanstea.com/FIT40 LINKS✅ Want some free workouts to get you started on your fitness journey?Check out the FIT40 Toned In 20 Workouts by clicking here: https://fit40coaching.com/20✅ Do you need some motivation along with monthly challenges and group support?Check out FIT40 Group Coaching by clicking this link: https://coach.everfit.io/package/BG758131​✅ Need professional level 1:1 accountability to help you finally reach your goals?Check out FIT40 Coaching by clicking this link: https://fit40coaching.com/coachingconsultationAFFILIATE LINKS:Try Tonal for 30 Days Risk Free: https://tonal.sjv.io/FIT40Get 10% Off The Genius Protein Shot: https://www.geniusshot.com/?ref=BRYAN_FIT40&transaction_id=10214dd14c839e450a4423af7b1f8eCONNECT WITH ME ONLINEFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bryan.fitzsimmonsInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/coach_fitzz/⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@coach_fitzz?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@bryan_fit40 This is a public episode.
