Ep. 364 - Building Your BS Filter: Stop Falling for Health Misinformation

Summary
Are you overwhelmed by all the health advice out there? One person says coffee is good for you, another says it’ll kill you. Some coaches promise you’ll lose 20 pounds in two weeks. It’s confusing, and it’s keeping you stuck. In this episode, Chase and Chris talk about how to spot the red flags, build a BS filter, and focus on what really works for your health. Spoiler: it’s not flashy, but it is simple and sustainable.

They share real examples from clients and give practical tips for anyone tired of spinning their wheels. You’ll learn how to stop falling for fear-based marketing and how to stay consistent without doing a complete 180. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt stuck, confused, or frustrated with your health journey.
