In this episode, Dan discusses the growing trend of trainers and therapists misusing quantum mechanics to promote their health and fitness services. He unpacks what quantum mechanics really is: a stunning and complex branch of physics that looks at the behaviour of particles at the atomic and subatomic level. And just as importantly, he explores what it absolutely is not.

Dan looks at how quantum myths have taken root in the wellness world and how they’re now being used to shore up some shaky ideas about fascia and human movement. He walks you through why these claims don’t hold up when we shine the light of science on them, and why the popular concept of biotensegrity ultimately misses the mark as a reliable model for understanding how our bodies move.

But he doesn't stop at just calling out the problems. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to recognise pseudoscience when it shows up, how to push back against misinformation, and guidance on keeping your own practice anchored in evidence-based thinking. So, settle in for an honest, wholehearted exploration of what it means to separate real science from empty promises in the ever-evolving world of health and fitness.
