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 wellness influencers, quacks and his biggest pet peeve.    WANT MORE FROM DR MCKAY?
