Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

Join me as we separate fact from fiction when it comes to nutrition. Dr. Bradley Johnston, welcome to the show. I am so thrilled to have you here. I've been a huge fan of your work. I think that you've done a tremendous job at helping us think about evidence-based practices, how we can sift through information. And you have your PhD. I believe that you're also a professor now. Are you teaching?

Yes.

Yes.

Amazing. Amazing. Tell us a little bit about your background, what your PhD is in, how you became interested in the work that you're doing now.

It is all coming into focus for me now because one of our mutual colleagues, Stu Phillips, says McMaster's is the home of evidence-based practices. Have you heard him say that?

The term is thrown around a lot. What is involved in studying evidence-based? And do you say evidence-based medicine or do you say evidence-based practice? What would be the correct term?

That's quite fascinating. I don't think I've ever really thought about the tenants and how they would then apply, right? As a clinician, you think, here's a problem, here's the outcome. For example, we want to help you lose body fat or lower your blood pressure. We then go to, you know, for physicians in the U.S. or elsewhere, there's up-to-date.

It would be a database that pulls together and utilizes... all the information out there and then provides processes, algorithms to then treat. I have two questions. I suppose the first one is, how did you become interested in that? Because you were interested in it before I think it was a thing. I don't exactly know how to put that in terms. Before it was something to be thought of.

Also, that's after the dietary guidelines. They didn't even put, they implemented dietary guidelines in 1980. Yeah. Was it first? Yeah. Evidence-based practices then I suppose became something in 1990. That's wild.

Yeah. Was it the exploration of the information that was so fascinating or was it potentially trying to come to a conclusion? What was the driver in the process of thinking in that very unique way?

which would be a bit unusual in the way that when we think about guidelines, from my understanding, they, for example, the AUA, the American Urologic Association, they will have urologists that study sexual medicine or andrology that will then inform the guidelines. I had never quite thought about the individual's ability to think about the foundation, right?
