Why it’s really important to look at what the data says.
I’ve been ranting a lot lately about data.
About why it’s really important to look at what the data or preferably metadata says.
We’re seeing a huge surge of self-proclaimed specialists emerging on the socials talking about everything from vaccines, to lockdown restrictions to skincare to beauty products etc etc etc!
And I must admit I find it exhaustingly infuriating. Becoming a specialist in a particular subject takes years, sometimes decades, of study and practice.
And without fail, specialists will rely on practices that are proven reliable with data.
A nurse that’s worked in elderly care and stoma care services should not be considered an expert in vaccines.
Social media influencers without relevant expertise should not be considered experts in epidemiology and public health planning, and therefore whether lockdowns are appropriate.
And aestheticians should not be considered experts in managing chronic dermatological conditions.
It’s really important to know who to listen to in any field.
I urge everyone to seek out the experts in their field. Ask their opinion. Ask to see the data – if you think you can interpret it (it’s not always easy believe me).
Look at what the overwhelming majority of professionals in that area say.
It’s the only way to know that the information you’re consuming is based on facts and is as accurate as possible.
And because it’s bloomin important, in the next few days/weeks, I’ll share the process that LPG, the creators and manufacturers of Endermologie use to ensure they make claims based on data.
I’ll highlight the experts in the field who work with LPG to discover treatment protocols that are clinically proven to work.
And, as always, I can share that data with anyone who’d like to see it.
Because data matters. The facts matter. Your safety matters.
You matter.
