Guest: Dr Eugene Tee, Associate Professor in Psychology

Whether you’re scrolling through social media or talking to friends, you can easily hear about the latest health hack - little tips and advice on how you can incorporate healthier habits into your life or sometimes trying something completely wacky because it’s said to change your life.

We’ll be diving into the psychology of it as well as how we can spot the red flags if it’s pseudoscience, as consultant urologist Dr George Lee is joined by Dr Eugene Tee, associate professor in psychology.
