I might be wrong….

I probably am.

There’s a somewhat silly quote in medicine that 50% of what they teach at medical school is incorrect. The problem is we don’t know which bits.

The same probably stands for most other areas. It’s only by constant reflection, learning and communication can we start to edit out the blatantly incorrect and work on the rest.

I know that I’ve evolved in my own practices, both as an athlete and practitioner. The advice I have given to patients has changed over time as well, as I’ve worked on my skills. My training has changed as I find new sources, techniques and experts. That which worked, stayed. That which proved risky or without a solid evidence base went.

The basics remain the basics though. The human machine evolved to move frequently, eat a broad diet and occasionally do bouts of intense physical activity proportional to age and health.
