Hype vs. Real Science
The Wellness Connection Show is back! After a short break, Dr. Bryan Joseph and Dr. Jason Hamed return to the mic to talk about the longevity revolution—and what’s actually supported by science versus what’s just expensive hype.
In this episode, they unpack some of today’s most popular health trends—cold plunges, saunas, breathwork, and red light therapy—and explain how these practices impact mental health, circulation, inflammation, and metabolism. You’ll learn which methods are worth trying, how to keep things simple, and why building on the fundamentals is the real secret to living and feeling better for the long haul.
