“SOOOO disappointed in Crooked Media. This is a simple-minded and paternalistic podcast. The viewpoint is the opposite of liberal and democratic—it’s pro-establishment propaganda, with disdain and bullying particularly aimed at women. There’s no “dissection”, or barely even surface-level examination, here. The host urges us to be “skeptical” of “wellness”, but no mention that we might need to be skeptical of the medical establishment and pharmaceutical industry. THAT is where the real stink is. Let’s see...cholesterol lies, mercury in dentistry and vaccines, antibiotic overuse/resistance, the opioid crisis, maternal morbidity and mortality, cesarean rates, PTSD following hospital birth, circumcision for no medical reason and “gender normalizing surgeries” on infants, the rarity of actual “informed consent”, insomnia meds that are dangerously addictive and also associated with dementia, rampant abuse and neglect in long term care facilities—and I could go on and on and on. The folks who promote natural health strategies are problematic? Problematic for doctors’ wallets and inflated egos, perhaps. And on an aesthetic note, all the music in the episodes is crazy dorky—it’s what a person would listen to while flexing in the mirror or imagining themselves jumping from an exploding helicopter.”

“I really appreciate this podcast. A lot. I think those who give it a low rating feel attacked. I get that. I’ve been to energy workers, a shaman, I have crystals at home. But, I also know a lot about the human brain and that there’s a lot in the alternative healing community that makes you feel...”Read full review »
