About this episode
The internet is filled with promises that weight loss can be hacked through timing tricks and radical diets. But behind the glossy success stories, doctors are seeing a dangerous reality: emergency visits and broken metabolisms from plans lifted from social media, not science. It's time to separate the fast fixes from the facts, and explore why a responsible, long-term approach to health looks nothing like what the algorithm rewards. On the show: Niu Honglin, Steve & Yushan
