In this episode of the Evolution of Medicine podcast, James Maskell speaks with Emily Kaplan of the Broken Science Initiative. They dive deep into the flaws of modern science, particularly in the context of medicine, and discuss how these issues contribute to the chronic disease epidemic. Emily Kaplan and Greg Glassman of CrossFit co-founded the Broken Science Initiative to address these deep-rooted problems and promote true scientific inquiry.

During this episode, you will hear an argument that the modern scientific method, especially in medicine, has become corrupted by political and financial interests, leading to a replication crisis and widespread statistical manipulation. Emily Kaplan also differentiates medicine and public health, criticizing the latter as being more about political consensus than clinical significance, leading to flawed public health policies.

Tune in for a conversation that explores:

  • Why there has been a decline in moral obligation to patients in hospital settings
  • The loss of physician authority and how that impacts patients
  • Flawed research and corruption in science
  • Critiques of public health
  • How CrossFit can help reverse the chronic disease epidemic.
  • And much more!

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the deep issues within the scientific community and how they impact public health and medicine.
