It might seem a discrepancy (and it actually s) but my point is well intentioned. Have you had patients or clients (medical, dietitian, sports) who have improved with a measure that you then apply to other patients/clients?. Well, that is applying a result of a sample of 1 (n=1) to the rest of your population. That is against the "evidence-based" modern concept of results application. It has worked in my practice (and in myself and family and friends). I would like to know your opinion in the topic. What is "evidence-based" for you (not the book description, but how do you interpret and apply in your practice/job/studio)

8 年The current model of "evidence-based" treatments is largely based on pharmaceutical and epidemiological studies. Any practitioner knows the limitations of this approach because we treat individuals-- not populations. We are each unique. This is why I incorporate genomics into my practice- helps me refine the N of 1 with scientifically based data that applies to the individual.
