Are We Being Lied To? The Wellness Scandal

Are We Being Lied To? The Wellness Scandal

This week on The Wellness Scoop, we’re unpacking the stories that are reshaping the way we think about food, health, and community. We start with a major new report exposing the rise of nutrition misinformation online — with up to 24 million people now at risk of following harmful diet advice from unqualified influencers. We dig into the shocking stats, the financial machine behind viral health content, and what needs to change if we’re going to rebuild trust in expert-led wellness. Next, we look at the government’s quiet U-turn on a healthy food policy — after pressure from ultra-processed food giants — and why it matters more than ever in a cost-of-living crisis. We’re also shining a light on the growing trend of real food heroes like Medjool dates, exploring the science behind their heart and gut benefits. And finally… saunas. Yes, really. From Finnish forests 10,000 years ago to floating sauna parties in Liverpool, we explore why this ancient ritual is having such a huge cultural comeback — and what the science says about its impact on stress, sleep, pain and longevity. Plus: a powerful personal story from actress Julia Stiles on body image, sample sizes, and learning to trust your body again.
