Should you do a juice cleanse? Is it actually possible to "boost" your immune system? You're constantly bombarded with ads, news stories and social media posts telling you how to optimize your health -- but a lot of these sources that pretend to be backed by science actually have another agenda. Dr. Jen Gunter is here to bust the lies you're told -- and sold -- about your health, debunking some of the stickiest myths out there while helping you to understand how your body really works. Episode 1 is out now, and answers the question: Do I really need eight glasses of water a day? To listen, find and follow Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter wherever you get your podcasts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
