Fake Science AND Joe Dispenza

This week Kat takes a DEEP dive into the ever popular meditation and “health” guru, Joe Dispenza. In this episode, Kat talks about what separates real science from pseudoscience (fake science that tries to pass as science). The tricky part is, pseudoscience mimics real science by co-opting their terms and using them in a way that sets you up to want to believe it’s true. Here we will discuss how we can keep an eye out for the red flags that scream “SCAM”. And what does Joe Dispenza have to do with all of this? You’ll just have to listen to find out. 😉 Articles: <a href="https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/doing-good-science/drawing-the-line-between-science-and-pseudo-science/#:~:text=The%20big%20difference%20Popper%20identifies,that%20might%20prove%20it%20false">Drawing the line between science and pseudo-science</a> <a href="https://kinesismagazine.com/2020/02/27/eat-pray-lie-holistic-wellness-scams-in-the-age-of-social-media/">Eat, Pray, Lie: Hollistic Wellness Scams in the Age of Social Media </a> <a href="https://www.salon.com/2021/06/16/from-workplaces-to-politics-to-instagram-influencers-cultish-language-is-everywhere/">From workplaces to politics to Instagram influencers, "cultish" language is everywhere</a> <a href="https://nesslabs.com/the-rise-of-fake-scientists">The Rise is Fake Science</a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2017/05/08/527354190/what-is-pseudoscience">What is Pseudoscience</a>   Follow Kat on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kat.defatta/">@Kat.Defatta</a> Follow the podcast Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/youneedtherapypodcast/">@YouNeedTherapyPodcast</a> Have a question, concern, guest idea, something else?
