Scammed Wellness

Hello, I’m Curissa Groll. I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, which means I love health and wellness. However, throughout my life and academic career I have fount there's a dark side to the wellness industry. Scammed Wellness is a podcast dedicated to breaking down the scams, scandals, and swindles within the wellness industry. Think of it as true crime meets wellness! I use the power of storytelling to illustrate these narratives, and hope to provide the listener with evidenced based advice to make informed decisions about their wellbeing.
