• The Truth About Nutrition: How You Can Take a Science-Based Approach | Bradley Johnston PhD

  Misinformation in nutrition is rampant. From demonizing red meat to hyping plant-based diets, conflicting advice has left many people confused about what’s truly evidence-based. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Bradley Johnston, an expert in evidence-based nutrition and public health policies, to separate fact from fiction. With nearly 200 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Johnston has challenged conventional wisdom—including recommendations from major organizations like the World Health Organization. He shares how evidence-based practices should guide our dietary choices, the importance of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and how cognitive biases influence the research we trust.Key Points: How evidence-based guidelines are formed—and why they sometimes changeThe three pillars of evidence-based practice and why patient values matterWhy most nutrition studies aren’t as strong as we think—and how to critically evaluate themWhat the best available research actually says about dietary patterns for longevityThe role of AI in research and whether it’s a help or hindrance to scientific rigorIf you’ve ever questioned dietary guidelines, nutrition headlines, or conflicting health advice, this episode is a must-listen. Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about nutrition.Who is Dr. Bradley Johnston?
