Making Smarter Health Decisions
Every day, we're presented with new advice about nutrition, exercise, supplements, medications, sleep, and healthy aging.
With so many recommendations—and sometimes conflicting ones—it can be difficult to know what is right for you.
Not every health decision requires certainty. It requires thoughtful judgment.
Before deciding whether a recommendation is right for you, pause and ask these five questions.
These questions encourage you to look beyond whether a recommendation simply sounds promising.
They help you consider the evidence, seek appropriate professional guidance, think about whether the recommendation fits your life, decide how you will know whether it is helping, and reflect on what you can learn from the experience.
Together, they offer a practical way to approach health decisions with greater thoughtfulness and confidence.
The five questions reflect the approach at the heart of Your Body as Data™:
start with good evidence
seek appropriate expertise
consider what fits your life, and
remain willing to learn from your own experience.
