Les aventures du Pharmachien dissects false truths and popular health beliefs with incisive humour. Inspired by the successful blog, the series focuses each week on a question asked by pharmacist Olivier Bernard, a.k.a. Le Pharmachien.
With the help of unusual tests, enlightening interviews and credible literature reviews, Le Pharmachien explores various and often controversial subjects. For its 6th season, he broadens his interests and looks at baldness, dreams, baby sleep, dental care and even ghost hunting!
In keeping with the blog’s colourful style, the series offers a fascinating and lively universe where animations and factual explanations are mixed together to differentiate once and for all “the real from the nonsense in health”.
