Emily Kaplan on metabolic health, medicine and mistrust: Part 3

In the third segment, the conversation turns from metabolic health to scientific culture itself. Kaplan shares the story behind Broken Science, tracing her background in journalism and her interest in nutrition policy, scientific incentives, and how public health narratives are shaped. She discusses concerns about peer review, statistical significance, replication, and the ways scientific certainty can be overstated in medicine and public communication.
