The Health Hype Roast
Hosted by Kevin Gillespie · EN
No fluff. No filters. No fads.
Each episode, we take one big health trend, from gut health to cold plunges to miracle supplements, and roast it.
We dig into what’s real, what’s rubbish, and what’s actually worth your time (and money).
If it’s good, we’ll tell you the best way to take it. If it’s nonsense, we’ll call it out faster than you can say “influencer discount code.”
Hosted by Kombucha Kev and a rotating panel of experts, athletes, and straight-talkers who aren’t afraid to call out the BS. Expect laughs, evidence, and a few uncomfortable truths.
If Joe Rogan met Have I Got News For You in a kombucha bar, this would be it.
