The wellness industry with Dr. Jonathan Stea

About this episode

Dr. David Gratzer interviews Dr. Jonathan Stea about the wellness industry and its impact on patients.

With a few clicks of the mouse, our patients can read what we read – including the latest journals. But they also can access a world of half-truths, misleading claims, and falsehoods. On this episode of Quick Takes, I speak with Dr. Jonathan Stea, a University of Calgary psychologist and a bestselling author, about his research on the wellness industry.
