295. How science-based fitness claims try to fool you.

from Help Me Understand · host JK McLeod

In this episode, Coach JK shares his perspective on the difference between correlation and causation, and why that distinction matters for simplifying fitness.Using aging, weight gain, strength loss, injury, menopause, and fitness marketing as examples, JK talks through how easy it is for studies, statistics, and trends to get turned into scary headlines or sales pitches.This episode is a reminder to slow down, ask better questions, and be careful when content uses “the science” to make you feel stuck, scared, or sold to.-------Instagram: ⁠@coachJKmcleod⁠Email: [email protected]/email the word HABITS for an invite to the free Fitness Foundations Community
