Introducing The Claims Department

Supplements that promise everything. Recovery gadgets with a price tag to match. Wellness trends that go viral before anyone checks the science. The Claims Department, a podcast from UltraSignup, doesn't tell you what to think. It helps you put health and fitness claims under the microscope so you can think better for yourself. Hosted by journalist Zoë Rom and exercise physiologist Dr. Nick Tiller, author of The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science, each episode takes on a popular claim about training, nutrition, gear, supplements, or wellness. Zoë and Nick dig into what the research actually shows, where the evidence runs out, and what it would take to change their minds. Along the way, you'll pick up the tools to size up the next claim on your own. Skeptical, not cynical. Rigorous, not academic. For athletes, the fitness-curious, and anyone who's tired of being sold to.
