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.

Show notes

Got a symptom? There's an influencer for that. A supplement for that. A subreddit, a detox, a cold plunge for that.

But what actually works — and what could actually hurt you?

Introducing: Health vs. Hype with the American Medical Association — a science-backed health podcast that breaks down viral wellness trends, health misinformation, and the advice flooding your feed.

Emmy-nominated science communicator Trace Dominguez sits down with influencers, the curious, and most importantly doctors to fact-check viral health claims – everything from intermittent fasting and protein maxxing to creatine. Cold plunges and more! Not to cancel the trends, not to hype them more, but to understand them.

Your health is your greatest asset. Don't leave it to an algorithm.

Let’s slow the scroll…and start asking better questions.
