Welcome to another Healthy Bite. In this episode, I want to discuss certainty and curiosity. It is something we all love in this life. As health practitioners, when others are putting their lives and health in your hands, we are drawn to that certainty because we're still human. We want to be certain about what we're telling our patients is right or not. So there's natural scepticism there, but it's the curiosity which hopefully drives progress, and I think it's an exciting part of health care t...
