#207 - FAKE Health Trends/Products (Featuring Adam Rader from Apple-A-Day)

From snake oil salesmen and miracle tonics to detox teas, weight-loss gummies, and viral wellness trends, the health industry has always had its share of products that promised far more than they delivered.


In this episode of FAKD, Joseph Rowan sits down with Adam Rader of Apple A Day to explore some of the biggest health product scams and misleading wellness claims—both past and present. Together, they examine the fascinating history of medical fraud, why consumers continue to fall for miracle cures, how modern marketing fuels questionable health trends, and what separates legitimate wellness products from clever hype.


From Victorian-era patent medicines to today's influencer-driven supplement industry, this conversation uncovers the psychology, marketing tactics, and warning signs behind some of the most successful health scams ever sold.


If you've ever wondered whether that "life-changing" health product is too good to be true, this episode is for you. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and uncover the stories behind the products that have fooled consumers for generations.
