A method for thinking about health claims
Most health platforms give you answers.
The Filter teaches you how to ask better questions.
It is a structured evaluation method built on three criteria that every health claim must pass before it is worth your attention.

Evidence
Is it backed by peer-reviewed research?
Applicability
Does it apply to your situation,
in real-life conditions?

Health benefit
Does it lead to a meaningful, measurable health outcome?
What The Filter teaches you
✔ Recognise red flags in health messaging — urgency, fear, anecdote presented as proof
✔ Distinguish emerging evidence from proven science
✔ Read a health headline without being misled
You do not need to become a scientist. You need enough critical thinking to stop being misled.
That is the goal of The Filter.
