The Health Hacks That DON’T Work | Don't Look Up

Not every trending health hack is worth your time. So how do you separate real science from internet hype? In this episode of Don’t Look Up, Dr. Scott Sherr and Boomer Anderson break down the most viral wellness trends and expose which ones may actually be making your stress, sleep, and metabolism worse.

From cold plunges and carnivore diets to dopamine fasting and extreme biohacks, we explore why some methods deliver short-term highs but long-term burnout. (Yes… even if everyone you follow on Instagram swears by them.)

You’ll learn:
• how to evaluate any health trend using a simple, science-backed framework
• from metabolomics and cellular health to chronobiology, sleep routines, and environmental alignment
• what foundational habits are like movement, stress management, grounding, and light exposure that reverse burnout and build real resilience… without buying six different red-light panels.

If you’re into biohacking, longevity, performance optimization, or simply want to stop wasting time on hacks that don’t work, this episode gives you practical tools, honest insights, and the clarity you need to choose what actually moves the needle for your health.
