Viral Health Tips You Need to STOP Now

How can you distinguish between actual health hacks and fake health trends? In this podcast, I’m going to tell you about ten health hacks that don’t work and often cause more harm than good. Avoid these health hacks to save your health and your wallet!

1. Ear candling

This treatment has been debunked by a doctor of audiology! There is absolutely no difference in ear wax before and after ear candling.

2. Gallbladder flush

This almost killed me! A gallbladder flush involves drinking 12 ounces of olive oil followed by beet tablets to eliminate gallstones. This really eliminates bile, causing you to become deficient. TUDCA is a much better remedy to help prevent and eliminate gallstones and bile sludge.

3. The master cleanse

This cleanse combines lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup, which won’t cleanse your body but will mess with your blood sugar.

4. Foot detox pads

You can not pull toxins and heavy metals out of your feet as there are no detox pathways through the skin.

5. Foot detox bath

Similar to foot detox pads, a chemical reaction changes the water's color during a foot detox bath, leading you to believe it’s pulling toxins out of your body.

6. Ab belts

Stimulating the stomach muscles or sweating will not remove fat from your midsection. Visceral fat must be removed through diet and exercise.

7. The blood type diet

This diet is not supported by credible research. Blood types relate more to an immune difference rather than a digestive difference.

8. EMF blockers

A sticker on your cell phone can not block the EMF radiation it omits.

9. Carb blockers

Carb blockers contain an extract that can inhibit the digestion of a minimal amount of starch, not sugar. You would need to take several bottles to inhibit the digestion of the starch from one donut.

10. Psychiatric medication

The effectiveness of psychiatric medication can be comparable to placebo outcomes. They may also come with serious side effects and can be highly addictive.
