In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most important questions in health and wellness: how do you know which science to trust? We break down how to tell the difference between a high-quality study and total BS, how to actually read a scientific paper, and what terms like “randomized controlled trial,” “p-hacking,” and “meta-analysis” really mean. You’ll learn the red flags to watch out for, the hierarchy of scientific evidence, and why some studies never get published at all. This is the ultimate crash course in spotting bad science—and understanding the good stuff. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting headlines or confused by research jargon, this episode will help you make sense of it.
