À propos de ce contenu audio
In Part 1, we examined how the research system can influence what gets published and promoted. In Part 2, the focus shifts to how individual studies are interpreted and how that interpretation is often distorted, particularly in wellness marketing.
I’m joined again by Dr. Josh Davis, a medical research educator, to break down how study design, statistical framing, and data presentation can shape conclusions that sound convincing but may not reflect the full picture.
We discuss how relative risk can exaggerate findings, why small or poorly designed studies are still frequently cited, and how selective reporting can create a narrative that supports a product rather than the underlying evidence. These are common tactics behind claims that are described as “backed by research.”
This episode is designed to help you evaluate whether a study actually supports the claim being made, rather than simply accepting that a study exists.
