Why Research, Not Hype, Drives Everything We Create
Mark
Reading Time: 5 minutes. In wellness, hype spreads faster than facts, but we refuse to build on shaky ground. We start with data, not buzzwords, and we’d rather say “we don’t know yet” than promise what science can’t support. That means questioning bold claims, scrutinising studies, and being honest about both limitations and benefits. If…
