Original: From saunas to psychedelics, how a health reporter sorts science from hype https://www.npr.org/2026/10/03/nx-s1-5986258/
NPR has published a piece in which a health reporter explains how she evaluates popular wellness trends, from sauna use to psychedelic therapies, distinguishing evidence-based benefits from marketing hype. The article offers guidance on which health claims hold up under scientific scrutiny and which rest on exaggerated promises, reflecting continued public interest in alternative and cutting-edge health practices.
Why now: Ongoing public fascination with wellness trends like saunas and psychedelics and confusion about which claims are scientifically supported.
