About this ebook

What if the conventional wisdom about health is misleading—even harmful?

For years, we’ve been told that eating right, exercising more, and managing stress are the keys to well-being. Yet, millions still struggle with chronic illness, fatigue, and frustration, despite following expert advice. Why? Because many of today’s health strategies are based on flawed assumptions, unrealistic expectations, and marketing-driven trends that often do more harm than good.

In The Health Fallacy, we uncover the myths and misconceptions that sabotage our well-being, from restrictive diets that lead to stress eating to extreme workout routines that wear us down. Backed by science, this book reveals what actually works for lasting health—without the gimmicks or the guilt.

With research-based insights and practical strategies, The Health Fallacy empowers you to take control of your health in a way that’s sustainable, effective, and freeing. It’s time to cut through the noise, rethink outdated advice, and embrace a smarter, simpler approach to true well-being.
