You know, if it's 10 people, then I would be very cautious at interpreting the result That's something you can count on. Or was it done with 1,000 people?

Okay, so you know what? Because this is my expertise is health and fitness. you see a lot of, especially like weight loss study headlines. You see a lot of them, right? Like compound and chocolate has been shown to blah, you know, compound and red wine, or this fruit has a fat burning, you know, whatever study show. And, and I know as a coach and trainers worked with lots of people,

And I was also taught a long time ago how to read studies, that people aren't going to read this study. They're not going to pay attention. They're just going to look at this, and then they're going to move away from what really is going to make a difference and towards something that makes no difference whatsoever. Years ago, I had a client who was a professor.

of psychology and she sat me down because I would talk about studies and she goes, do you know how to look at studies? And I said, what do you mean? And she broke this down. That was one of the things she said. She's like, we've got to look at the sample size. So, you know, if there's a lot of people in there,

that's more likely to be accurate because very few people, if we pick 10 people to study, I could very well pick, you know, out of those 10 people, seven of them who are going to respond really well to what I'm studying or people who may be biased. And so now my study is going to show that something works really great when in fact it may not.

For example, if I pick, you know, 10 people and I'm testing the results of a vitamin, um, maybe six of them actually lack this vitamin. Well, now this vitamin looks like a miracle drug. Oh, yeah. It's amazing. Absolutely. So it's really important to pay attention.

I'll create a fake example that I think will illustrate this, right? If we studied cocaine for depression over 30 days. It would look like a great antidepressant. Over 30 days, we tested cocaine's effect on depression. And it was like, this is the most amazing. Client woke up two hours earlier.

Follow up for three years and all of a sudden you see cocaine was terrible on their psyche and their health. But that just gives you your great point, Adam, is the length of study. Exercise studies are, that's one of the things I really look at it with exercise studies. Because when it comes to exercise, strength training and other forms of exercise, cardiovascular training,
