Episode Synopsis

“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.Want more from Dr. Doug?• Clinical care (GAIN): myimmunenetwork.com• Speaking & education: drdougjones.com
