Scientific Papers
OK, I obsess. Exercise, nutrition, immunology, physiology, genetics… I need to know, “What is true and what does the science mean for the individual?”

Interests and Skills
Knowledge begins with observation, “What appears to be true in the real world?”
A lack of scientific evidence does not mean a thing might not be true if noone has studied it, or if it has only been studied badly.
If you do something and it works for you, it is fairly safe to conclude that it works for you.
