When you see the laundry list of health benefits you can experience from a PEMF mat, you can't help but feel your inner skeptic peering around the corner to investigate. 

I myself have a strong bullshit radar and am extremely wary of wellness fads. But recently I was in a functional nutrition course run by a functional medicine practitioner who I highly respect, and when she mentioned that hypothyroid patients could benefit from the use of a PEMF mat, my ears perked up. 

Believe it or not, I immediately ordered one - ever the guinea pig b...

Some gym bro on the Internet is telling you to just eat less, workout harder, track your macros, and only eat during x hours.

KETO. IS. DANGEROUS.

Ok, after a doctor recommended my client be on a ‘keto lifestyle’ for no good reason I had to create this episode and VENT!!!

Understand, I would take no issue with keto if it wasn’t actively dangerous.
