In case you haven’t noticed, wellbeing and wellness have been hijacked by those selling the modern-day version of snake oil. Pseudoscience – social media’s candy - is winning the clicks game over actual science and your friends are more likely to send you a Youtube video as “proof” of their claim than a credible, peer-reviewed research study.

Enter Dr. Jonathan Stea, author of the new book MIND THE SCIENCE. He’s battling the ridiculous pseudoscientific claims and keeping his sense of humor through all the anger sent his way on X and elsewhere. Our longtime listeners know we originally started this podcast 7 years ago specifically to bring the evidence back to health & wellness, so we’re grateful for people like Dr. Stea who are willing to do the same, in spite of the constant pushback.

Dr. Jonathan N. Stea is a full-time practicing clinical psychologist and an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Calgary. He’s a two-time winner of the University of Calgary’s Award for Excellence in Clinical Supervision and co-editor of the book Investigating Clinical Psychology: Pseudoscience, Fringe Science, and Controversies. Dr. Stea has published extensively, with regular contributions to Scientific American and Psychology Today, among other outlets, and has appeared on numerous mainstream television and radio shows, as well as podcasts. He was the 2022 recipient of the John G. Paterson Award from the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta, an annual award presented for the exceptional contribution to portraying psychological knowledge to the public.
