Amazing that there are 32 comments and somehow this article avoided tripping the HN This-Is-Just-A-Marketing-Blog-Post silent alarm.


It's quite odd indeed - there's no links to actual research to back up the claims, her statements aren't clarified (saying tilting the head down adds weight - at least specify that it's adding weight to the neck or something.) It's just a piece about what this lady says based off some other odd looking website.


My theory is that the nutrition and exercise posts get a pass because everybody races to share their similarly unfounded opinion instead of even looking at the post.

See the comments for every IF, keto, running is good, running is bad, weightlifting, etc. post on here.


Most of the time the article is just the trigger for the discussions in the comments. A lot of times I'm just reading the comments and only read the original article if it's mentioned as being valuable in the comments.


This is more of a tech forum, so we can see through that bullshit. Not as many doctors or physios here, so everything linked is correct :)


Should we not consider that this personal is a health professional? While they aren't a M.D., they have studied the body more intensely than most people in other professions.

I also don't think you should just blindly believe anyone, even M.D.s, without doing research yourself.


I wasn't being dismissive of their accomplishments, just was bringing up the fact that since this is out of most of our expertise areas, we will likely be less skeptical of the post from the get go.
