Quick answer: this is a free 12-round game that tests whether you can tell an evidence-backed wellness fact from a myth that just sounds true. Each round is a real, widely-repeated claim about hydration, gut health, sleep, nutrition or exercise — pick "Myth" or "Fact," see the explanation immediately, and get a final score out of 12. No email is required to play or to see your score.
Wellness advice is everywhere — social feeds, supplement marketing, wellness influencers, even well-meaning friends — and a lot of it sounds authoritative without actually being true. Some of it is outdated science that never quite got corrected (cracking your knuckles causing arthritis). Some is an oversimplified half-truth (fresh produce always beating frozen). And some is marketing dressed up as biology ("detox" teas flushing toxins your liver and kidneys already handle). None of that is really your fault — misinformation tends to travel faster than the more boring, nuanced truth, especially when there's a product to sell behind it. This game exists to make the sorting-out quick and fun instead of one more thing to feel behind on.
Why do wellness myths stick around so long? A few reasons keep recurring: they're simple and memorable ("8 glasses a day," "detox") where the real explanation is more nuanced; they get repeated by people who genuinely believe them, not just by marketers; and correcting a myth rarely gets the same reach as the myth itself did. Add a financial incentive — supplements, cleanses, fad diets — and a myth can outlive the science that debunked it by years.
What you'll be tested on
The 12 statements pull from a handful of areas where myths are especially common: gut health and digestion, sleep and circadian rhythm, everyday nutrition, and exercise and recovery. If gut health specifically is what brought you here, our gut health score quiz and our guide to resetting your gut health go deeper than a single true-or-false round can.
Where to go if you want the real science
Getting a round wrong isn't the point to worry about — the short explanation that follows each answer is. If you'd rather build a lasting, evidence-based foundation instead of picking up facts one myth at a time, our complete nutrition course covers the science behind food, digestion and metabolism in real depth, and our post on the best supplements for gut health separates the genuinely useful ones from the ones that are mostly marketing.
