Welcome to the whole view. I'm Stacy Topp of Real Everything.com. I'm all about

loving the skin you're in and being healthy inside and out.

And I'm Dr. Sarah Valentine of the paleomom.com.

I believe that scientific literacy is the key to improving public health. So as we sort of realized that it was time to rename the podcast because we were really following the science

and wanted to be able to like broaden the scope of what we're talking about and I think like right in episode 400 where

we sort of talked about you know why we were sort of moving to the whole view as

as opposed to the paleo view we talked about the necessity of having a podcast really focused

on scientific method.

What I really want to be able to help our audience understand is not just how I look at science and how I, you know,

combine the information from different studies to come up with

recommendations but I also want our listeners to be really aware of some of like

the common pitfalls some of the common like we see

these certain things over and over again in the alternative health community that

you know things like oh well that study was only done in a few people or well that

study was done in animals or in rats or mice or whatever and we see this this

it's a manifestation of bias of dismissing science that doesn't conform to someone's

beliefs, but we see it in a way that is, it's not just disrespecting science, it's

miscommunicating the value of different types of studies.

So one of the things that I really wanted to do,

and I'm really excited

that we're gonna get to do it this week,

is kind of talk about like how different studies work, right?
