In this solo episode, I wanted to share some real talk. Context matters. Whether talking about health, science, or the people we follow for guidance, it's easy to get swept up in headlines, credentials, or even a few well-spoken soundbites. But beneath the surface, we have to ask better questions. Who's funding the research? What patterns show up over time in someone's stance? What are the biases and motives? I share some tools I personally use when evaluating health info (or really, anything): assessing character, noticing patterns over time, and sometimes, simply trusting my gut. My hope is that this episode empowers you to be both curious and cautious, confident yet open-minded, and above all, grounded in your own values as you navigate your health journey.IntroContext matters with Dr. Peter McculloughCritical thinking matters (don't blindly follow)Beyond the headlinesLongevity of a person's stanceCharacter and motiveBias in the sourcePhone a friendTrust your gutSome of my 23.5 hours in a day Bonus: "Vitamin A, baaaaad"_____EPISODE RESOURCES1) Germ vs. Terrain Theory: here, here, and here.2) Dr. Peter McCullough's Pharma Payments3) Dr. Peter McCullough's Interview4) Tuft's Compass Guide Article_____WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
