It was one of my favorite, you know, it's one of the things I love about training people is there's, there are moments I can distinctly remember with clients because they were all really smart people. where they just taught me a lot. And she sat me down and she said, where do you think they do most of the studies, Sal? And I didn't know. I'm like, I don't know.

They do them in, like, I don't know, labs? She started laughing. She's like, colleges. Yeah, young college men. And what they do is they recruit, they put out a study, and they say, we're looking for, you know, 50 people to be a part of a study, and we're going to pay you, like, you know, 40 bucks a day. And she's like, who do you think signs up for that?

She's like, young college men who don't have a lot of money.
Yeah, it's as much as 20-year-old dudes who don't have no money. They're like, I'll take a pill or I'll go do this study where I don't sleep for three days or whatever. And so what you have is a bias of... young college-aged males typically in many of these studies. So what if you're an older man? What if you're a woman? What if you're pregnant? What if you're menopausal?

You have to look at who was studied and does it actually apply? This one is another great one with exercise. You take a bunch of college-aged males and you're looking at hit cardio and it looks like a panacea. But when I trained lots of middle-aged everyday people, hit cardio was hit or miss. Sometimes it was great. Sometimes it was terrible. It was just too intense and too stressful.

But you give me a bunch of 20-year-olds and hit cardio is probably going to outperform any other form of cardio. So you have to look at who was in the study as well. And then here's another one. Does it follow a consensus? Yeah. Okay. I like meta analysis because meta analysis is where they, it's a study of studies.
