  • Resumen

  • There’s an enormous amount of health information at our fingertips. But how do you know what to believe and what to disregard? In this podcast, I’ll help to answer that question. Every week, I’ll either sit down with a healthcare expert to discuss an article or talk to you one on one about how to interpret news stories and the journal articles from which those stories stemmed. When I sit down with the experts, we’ll break down a news article, then dive into the source. We’ll talk about the strengths and limitations of the study and provide guidance about how you may proceed with the information. We’ll touch a variety of topics from healthy aging to breakthrough treatments for chronic diseases and everything in between. Every week, you’ll learn something new and walk away as a savvier consumer of health information.

    Should you trust that book? It depends...
    Nov 3 2020

    Just because something is written in a book, that doesn't mean the information is reliable. In this episode, I provide a real-world example of a book that sought to push an agenda, and was written and endorsed by individuals completely outside the field in which the book was about.
