We’re obsessed with health and wellness, from fixating on last night’s sleep score to swallowing a cocktail of supplements to stave off every ailment. But is there any real evidence behind the health hacks we’re sold? Are we being very professionally ripped off by Big Wellness – now four times larger than Big Pharma?
British doctor and BBC broadcastert Dr Xand van Tulleken spent three years investigating the industry. He joins Emma Kennedy to separate the real science from the snake oil.
