Welcome to the debut episode of The Pea PodCast! Ever wondered what those "new study shows..." headlines actually mean for your health? Join your host Alicia C. Simpson MS, RD, IBCLC, LD as we embark on a crucial journey: demystifying the world of scientific health research. We'll break down the essentials: the importance of sample size, the power (and limitations) of different study designs, understanding statistical significance, and why medical consensus isn't built on a single paper. Plus, we'll talk about following the money and potential conflicts of interest. Arm yourself with the knowledge to sort fact from fiction and truly understand the evidence behind wellness claims!
