In this episode of The Fact Check, physiotherapists Alexis Léveillé and Diego Hidalgo take a critical and skeptical look at the origins, science and relevance of CranioSacral Therapy (CST), this branch of osteopathy which purports that we can modify and rebalance the nervous system through very gentle manipulation of the skull's sutures and surrounding musculature.

In part 2 of this episode, Eliud and Alexis interview Nutrition PHD and clinician Dr Adrian Chavez regarding the recent surge in the popularity of the carnivore diet.

Is the carnivore diet a good diet? Why do some people swear by it? What does the data say? What are the mechanisms behind it and are there safer ways to adopt its principles for better health, performance and longevity (there are, we discuss them here).

Listen to this episode for a skeptical (and scientific) look at all of these questions!

In this episode, we see Gun freaks, guys who think it's beta to sleep, chiros seemingly m*rdering people and guys who would likely use time machines solely to fellate their past selves if such machines existed.

In this episode, Eliud and Alexis continue their examination of the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) through the science promoted by arguably its most popular adherents: Conor Harris.

Does jaw posture/occlusion cause widespread pain/poor posture elsewhere? How relevant is posture to pain? What is the PRI method? How relevant is it to musculoskeletal rehabilitation?

Listen to this episode for a skeptical (and scientific) look at all of these questions!
