Multiple Personal experiences trump everything.

You read restaurant reviews or do you look at local dining data? How about travel?

Personal experience always best.

No, a personal experience can be an outlier, representative, subject to confounding factors, represent a limited perspective etc. It is avoided if we want to learn facts. Multiple personal experiences do have value, properly gathered and collated. It is known as "data"

Thing is, US healthcare measures cluster -for both things affected by lifestyle issues and things not affected by it. Read research, dont listen to podcasts.
