“Science” gets used to sell everything these days—tests, supplements, fear, certainty. But real science is simple at its core: it’s a method for asking questions and testing answers against evidence.
In this episode, Dr. Doug Jones breaks down the scientific method (observation → hypothesis → testing → analysis → replication → revision) and gives you practical red flags for spotting pseudoscience quickly—especially the kind that hides behind technical jargon, emotional anecdotes, and distrust of doctors.
He also shares a real example of how misinformation gets manufactured by stitching together unrelated studies to make bold claims that don’t hold up under real scrutiny.If you want a faster filter for what to trust—and how to avoid getting pulled into the “one thing” marketing machine—this episode is for you.

Two years ago, Dr. Doug Jones’ life was saved by something he didn’t even know he had: an anomalous coronary artery—a built-in backup plan that kept him alive when his LAD (“widowmaker”) artery was blocked. Even as a doctor doing “all the right things,” his symptoms were misread, early tests looked normal, and in hindsight he’d had two silent heart attacks.
In this episode, Dr. Doug shares what that experience taught him about self-advocacy, finding the right clinician, and why healing rarely follows a checklist. He also connects the lesson to anyone living with food allergies or chronic illness: the unseen resilience, the constant adapting, and the strengths you’ve built that may be protecting you in ways you don’t even recognize yet.
As we head into a new year, this is a reminder to keep pursuing solutions, guard yourself from misinformation, and honor how far you’ve already come.
