GLP-1 Panic, Cholesterol Myths & Media Misinformation: What the Science Actually Says

SANAMethod Season 1 Episode 25

Dr Richard Ralph and Dan Lowry unpack some of the most sensationalised health headlines. They discuss the recent claims linking GLP-1 medications to suicide and clarify that the TGA has found no causal connection, highlighting how media distortion often creates unnecessary fear. 

They also revisit ongoing cholesterol debates, exploring common myths, the real evidence behind statin use, and how past sensational reporting led to a measurable rise in heart attacks and strokes. The conversation touches on vaccines, public trust in science, and the role misinformation continues to play in shaping health decisions. Plus, some very exciting announcements for 2026!
