How relevant are randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover trials in personalised medicine? What do clinical trials tell us, and how often do they change the way we practice?

These are some of the questions raised by today's guest, nutritionist and researcher, Dr Niikee Schoendorfer. In this industry insights podcast, Dr Shoendorfer shares the reasons why natural medicines fall prey to the assumption that a lack of evidence equates to a lack of efficacy and why the reductionistic approach of the scientific method can often set integrative medicine up to fail. An insightful look into the shortcomings of accepted evidence methods illustrating why the industry needs more clinicians entering research.
