Analysis of advice
Maybe it would be good, now or at some later point, to add a section on the (scientific) analysis of (professionally given) advice. It could include info on/from this study which I recently featured in 2022 in science:

"A study systematically assesses advice given by professional general practitioners, typically in the form of verbal-only consultation, for weight-loss to obese patients. They found it rarely included effective methods, was mostly generic, and was rarely tailored to patients' existing knowledge and behaviours."

What do you think about such a (brief) section if this isn't the only study of this type? Is there more research like this (especially for other areas than health/medicine)?
