In this episode, we break down the rapidly evolving world of health influencing, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach and questioning whether “healthfluencing” can sometimes do more harm than good. We walk listeners through our evaluation framework, using popular products like vibration plates, DOSE liver shots, and clear protein to distinguish between evidence-based tools and overhyped trends. We highlight where science supports certain ingredients or modalities, such as creatine and specific types of collagen, while also calling out potential risks, like curcumin’s impact on anemia or the lack of regulation in products sold on Amazon. Throughout the episode, we reinforce a “food-first” philosophy and encourage consumers to think critically about who a product is actually for before jumping on trends.
