Extra Healthy-ish

Do alternative therapies actually work?


Listen Later

Dr Brad McKay is done with the wellness scene - charlatans peddling goods, sciencey-salespeople and marketing duping us into spending more money all in the name of better health. So, he wrote a book about it called Fake Medicine. In this ep, the host of Embarrassing Bodies Down Under discusses the evidence behind alternative therapies like cupping, reiki and oxygen therapy, and whether they will, in fact, boost your wellbeing.    WANT MORE FROM DR MCKAY?
