Webinar: The Wickedness of Woo – How an Unregulated "Remedy" Almost Cost Me My Life

The Wickedness of Woo – How an Unregulated "Remedy" Almost Cost Me My Life

The multi-billion-dollar wellness industry sells us a comforting narrative: if it’s natural, it’s safe. But what happens when the "herbal remedy" promised to heal you is actually a toxic cocktail hiding behind a green label?

Join consumer advocate and science communicator Kat McLeod (the Kitty Corner Skeptic) for a deeply personal, eye-opening presentation that exposes the dark, unregulated underbelly of alternative medicine.

In this powerful webinar, Kat will share her own harrowing survival story. After turning to an alternative herbal remedy, she suffered a near-fatal medical crisis when it was discovered the product was secretly adulterated with potent, unlisted pharmaceutical steroids. Kat will walk us through her journey from patient to skeptical activist, detailing the terrifying reality of a medical emergency caused by the very products meant to promote health.

Kat McLeod is an Edmonton-based consumer advocate, public speaker, and dedicated science communicator widely known within the secular and skeptical communities for her work combating health misinformation and pseudoscience.

Driven by a profound personal experience—surviving a near-fatal medical crisis after taking an adulterated alternative "herbal" remedy that secretly contained potent unlisted steroids—Kat has turned a personal trial into a mission of public advocacy. Under her online handle, Kitty Corner Skeptic, she actively works to pull back the curtain on the multi-billion-dollar wellness industry and the dangers of unregulated alternative remedies.
