This week Anne-Sophie is joined by Scott Carney, investigative journalist, anthropologist, and the author of several acclaimed books including What Doesn’t Kill Us, The Wedge and The Enlightenment Trap.
Scott has been up close and personal with several bigtime personalities in the wellness space, including Andrew Huberman and Wim Hof, spending time with both before they were famous (or infamous).
Through his newsletter and hard-hitting YouTube channel, his ongoing work aims to shine a light on popular wellness grifters and the dangerous pseudoscience they peddle.
In this episode they discuss:
- His origin and what sustains his investigative work
- Insights on Scott’s time with Andrew Huberman and Wim Hof
- What we get wrong about breathwork, ice baths & biohacking
- The importance of independent journalism and fact checkers
- What’s worse, guru-scientists or scientist-gurus?
& much more.
