Every year, the wellness world rolls out a new list of health trends — and most people are left wondering:

Is this actually helpful… or just expensive hype?

In this episode of The Metabolic Edit, I’m breaking down some of the most talked-about 2026 health trends and calling them Hot or Not — based on real physiology, clinical experience, research, and tools I’ve personally tested.

Just what’s actually worth your time, money, and energy.

In this episode, I break down:

  • Whether saunas and sauna blankets really support metabolism, stress, and longevity
  • Why greens powders are often overrated — and what to do instead
  • When colostrum can support gut health and immunity (and when it’s a no)
  • The real science behind red light therapy hats for hair loss and mitochondrial health

If you’re tired of chasing trends and want a smarter filter for what actually works in 2026, this episode will save you time, money, and frustration.
