Hey there, friends! 

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to spot the difference between health numbers that look good on paper and something that actually helps in real life. I’m diving into why health outcomes matter way more than those flashy numbers on your lab report so you don’t have to be afraid of every little change.

We’ll also have a little fun calling out the wild world of self-reported data, and I’ll share my personal pet peeve about poor quality studies in both the mainstream and alternative health categories. 

Plus, I’m digging into how changing the definition of a diagnosis can suddenly make a whole lot of healthy people “sick,” and why that’s something to watch out for. And of course, we’re talking about the importance of the long game.

Grab your favorite drink and settle in — this one’s a mix of myth-busting, detective work, and learning how to ask better questions about your health. Let’s go!
