Should we blindly trust the science? Episode 184 with Acos Ashioti

🎙️Episode 184 of the Self Made Podcast: Should you blindly trust the science! With Acos Ashioti is now live! 

The term evidence based has become one of the most overused terms in the industry. 

Everyone claims to be an expert in the science arguing with each other and throwing around terms like misinformation. 

But is everyone really an expert? Is science really that easy to read and interpret?

I can honestly tell you know with research being filled with complex terms, methods to dive into, P values and many other factors that may take a study you are so confident in and make it defunct. 

This is why many simply only read the abstract or rely on what others have told them so no wonder it can be so confusing who to trust and learn from. 

But this is what this episode with Acos is designed for. To help you understand what the science is really telling you. 

From understanding the lingo, how to break down a paper, where is the line between evidence based and practical experience and more!

We also dive into some of the most debated topics from low carb to meal timing and find the middle ground of what’s true and what is worth pursuing with your clients.  

 The episode in full is live now on Youtube, Apple, Spotify and wherever you listen to your podcasts.
