<p>Whether it was the snake oil salesman of the 1800s or the Master Cleanse that would cure all your problems in the late 90s, people have been falling for false wellness claims for centuries. Whether we want to speed up our metabolism or gain extra muscle mass, people don’t necessarily fall for false wellness claims because they’re gullible, mostly it’s because many of us are looking to fill gaps in the health care system that may leave us feeling dismissed or unheard. Now, with many health gurus with large podcast platforms and viral TikToks making crazy claims, no one is immune from falling for a scam.</p> <p>Studio 5 Health Contributor <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/tag/miki-eberhardt">Miki Eberhardt</a> shared how to separate fact from fiction when it comes to wellness.</p> <p>Find more advice from Miki on Instagram, <a href="http://www.instagram.com/nutritionbymiki/">@nutritionbymiki</a>.</p> <p>Read more here: https://studio5.ksl.com/dont-fall-wellness-scam-buzzwords-avoid-research/</p>
