#471 What Does Evidence-Based Really Mean

What does it really mean when something is described as "evidence-based"? In this episode, Claire and Maggie explore how to evaluate research and separate credible evidence from misleading claims. From peer review and study design to conflicts of interest, sample size, and the hierarchy of evidence, they break down the key factors that determine whether research can be trusted. Along the way, they discuss media misrepresentation, the difference between correlation and causation, and why curiosity, healthy scepticism, and checking evidence from multiple perspectives are essential skills in today's information-rich world. Whether you're navigating fitness advice, wellness trends, or health headlines, this episode will help you become a more confident consumer of research.
