Health vs Hype with the American Medical Association
Health vs Hype from the American Medical Association takes on medical misinformation, viral health trends, DIY medicine, and common health myths to help listeners understand what’s real, what’s risky, and what’s backed by science. Let’s face it: many of us are guilty of occasionally “doing our own research.” We’ve searched symptoms and ended up down a medical rabbit hole. But our health is our greatest asset and trusting it to an algorithm or an influencer can be a costly mistake. From miracle supplements to cold plunge cures and beyond, Trace Dominguez fact-checks popular health claims, explains how medical misinformation spreads, and reveals the real-world consequences of getting it wrong. This show is your resource for fact-based, science-backed information from trusted AMA physicians and medical experts around the country, helping you take control of your greatest asset - your good health.
