✨ New Book Review ✨
We just finished Mind the Science by Jonathan N. Stea, PhD — and wow, it couldn’t be more timely.

If your feed is full of miracle cures and wellness hacks, this book is a reminder to pause, question, and look for the evidence. Stea dives into the history of pseudoscience, the tricks of the trillion-dollar wellness industry, and gives readers a toolkit for separating fact from hype.

Not perfect, but essential reading in a world where misinformation spreads faster than truth.

Would you fall for the latest wellness trend? Or would you #MindTheScience? 🧠📚
