How we weigh the evidence

Dr. Dahlgren has read more than 260,000 peer-reviewed studies and built them into a research database. Every claim in the workbook is tied to that evidence and graded, so you can see at a glance how much weight it deserves.

Evidence grade: Established
Consistent findings across many human studies; widely accepted.
Evidence grade: Probable
Good evidence of an association; some uncertainty about dose, timing, or cause.
Evidence grade: Emerging
Early or mixed findings; worth watching, not worth assuming.

  • Evidence grade: Emerging[TODO: sample claim from the finished workbook]

Questions

What format is the workbook?
[TODO: confirm format and page count — e.g. PDF, number of pages]
Is this medical advice?
No. It is educational material written to help you understand the research and ask better questions. It doesn't diagnose anything and it isn't a substitute for your own doctor.
Will it tell me what is causing my symptoms?
No workbook can do that. What it can do is show you what the evidence supports, what it doesn't, and how to bring a specific, testable question to a physician.
How do I get it after I buy?
Right after payment, the workbook appears under My Reports in your account, where you can download it any time.
Why do I need an account?
So your purchase is saved and you can re-download it later without searching your email.
What if it isn't what I expected?
