Through the shadows a mysterious figure appears and approaches you quickly, ready to present you with a gift that on the surface appears quite valuable: expertise.
It seems that everywhere we turn these days experts are popping up with their gifts of expertise, telling us what to do about health. Nowhere is this more evident than in the world of health. Abound with all their knowledge and desire to help, these experts shape the way we think about health and wellness. Fitness experts, nutrition experts, doctors, researchers and other medical professionals are relied upon for answers and guidance. But are they experts and is all their expertise any good? What is an "expert" really mean and should we take what they say as the truth? Since most of us value or health and wellbeing, deciphering expertise from opinion is very important.
1. Who decided this person was an expert?
2. What exactly are they an expert in?
3. What qualifies them as an expert in that field?
4. Does their expertise mean they have the answers to the relevant topic?
5. Does this expert(ise) even matter when it comes to your health?
There are some very genuine experts in this world and we all benefit from their work and contributions but experts shouldn't get a free pass from critique when it comes to your health. No expert or his/her expertise means much of anything until you've regarded and critiqued them and their message. These 5 questions will help you sort through much of the information overload we are barraged with these days. In essence, we all need to rethink how we decode experts and their advice.
To best determine if the expert in front of you is worthy of your time and attention as an authority in a particular area it is critical you crack the expert code. These 5 levels of critique will help you decide what to do with the expertise they are proclaiming.
Important but often a slippery concept to get a grasp of is where their label of expert came from. Most experts are either self appointed or have simply been called one by someone or something (organization) who thinks they are an authority on a subject. Often expertise is labeled as a result of experience, research, publication and/or speaking about a topic. All it takes is for someone (and it often doesn't matter who) to call a person an expert and they can and will wear that title for life.
If you can, try to figure out who or what decided this person was an expert. If you can't figure it out it might tell you something right off the bat.
A very important question. What specific area is their expertise and is that their only expert knowledge? Here you are looking for details and specific topic(s). As a general rule, the more specific the area of expertise the more likely they indeed know it all, but the more likely they are to not be able to see the whole picture (which we usually need to keep in mind when dealing with human health and function). As an example, it's way more likely that someone can be a true expert in mitochondrial function than someone can be an expert in human function. It is also more likely that the expert in mitochondrial function will be very useful when talking about mitochondria but less useful in overall practical knowledge because of the specificity of their expertise. As another example, if you come across an expert in "nutrition", you can bet good money they are either 1) an expert in one aspect of nutrition or 2) have a really good overall general knowledge of the scope of nutrition. I have yet to come across anyone who is even close to knowing everything there is to know about such a broad topic and, probably most importantly, there is a lot we still don't know about nutrition in general.
Figure out what exactly they are an expert in and keep that in mind when framing their insights.
In essence, what accomplishments, experience and/or body of work supports their expertise? Someone can get handed a degree but as we all know that doesn't guarantee an expert in anything or any form of expertise. Does simply doing something for 20 years make you an expert? Does writing a book, scholarly articles or belonging to the faculty of a academic department qualify? Does researching something mean you have expertise? Does knowing someone who gets you on TV to talk about something make you an expert? Does transforming thousands of people's lives mean they're an expert?
Expertise is tricky and is not guaranteed, even with several decades and a wall full of accolades behind someone. Be very critical when looking at what qualifies someone to have comprehensive and authoritative knowledge in a particular area.
This is probably one of the biggest problems we face in the world of health expertise. There is an epidemic of people, labeled as experts, giving advice, summarizing and claiming things that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. A cardiologist is not an expert in nutrition and should not be consulted for nutritional expertise on a new study about diet induced heart disease. Even if you determine they have true expertise in the field of cardiology, it is highly unlikely they are also an expert in diet and nutrition and their information should be taken for what it's worth: non expert diet advice from a cardiology expert. People with expertise in general fields will be able to give you educated general opinions but can't give expertise about specifics, just as experts in specific fields can give you expertise about specifics but only educated opinions about general concepts or things outside their specialty.
If you come across someone who seems to check out as an expert, make sure you keep in mind what they are talking about and if it doesn't fit into the realm of their expertise, it's more likely interesting information/opinion than true expertise.
Possibly the most important question to ask when decoding an expert is if it's relevant to you. Most expertise falls short when we ask this question because there's just so much extra information floating out there that doesn't mean much of anything to most people. Most commonly, experts dispense interesting information that's applicable to either 1) populations at large (which means it's not relevant to individuals) or 2) small groups of people (which means it's not applicable to you unless you happen to fit into that small sample). Either way, most of the time expertise ends up as nice background noise and not integral to your daily life and health decisions.
Always remember to put expertise through your personal filter before deciding on its value.
These 5 questions (and possibly more) need to be considered when we decide if someone is an expert or not and if their expertise is valid to our situation.
I've been very critical of experts because of how carelessly we label them and believe everything they say. I do believe there are some great experts out there with very valuable and helpful advice that should be listened to. I just want to encourage people to think before submitting to an expert. The better we get at decoding experts the less likely we are to mistakenly believe something we shouldn't. Being able to decipher the relevant from non relevant is a skill that will benefit just about everyone and will elevate the quality and applicability of information whipping around the globe in the future.
1. We are being overwhelmed by expert advice and opinions, it is our job to decode them.
– Who decided this person was an expert?
– What exactly are they an expert in?
– What qualifies them as an expert in that field?
– Does their expertise mean they have the answers to the relevant topic?
– Does this expert(ise) even matter when it comes to your health?
3. If an expert is truly an expert they will stand up to your analysis and scrutiny and their information will be valuable.
4. Most information we come across is interesting but very little is applicable to each of us individually.
5. The only expert on you is you.
Don't ignore experts, decode them. The worthy ones will be there in the end.
Thanks for reading, have an expert day!
The more someone claims to know it all the less of an expert they likely are. True experts know they don't know it all and continually strive to learn more.
Being an expert does not guarantee you know everything.
The Microscope Effect: The more specialized and focused someone is the harder is to have the whole picture in view. Being an expert usually means a lot of time studying a specific field and although that means knowing a lot about that realm, it is common to be less aware and take less consideration of all of the other surrounding and possibly confounding areas.
Mechanic Fallacy: Experts are experts in their area from their own perspective and or training. An example: Toyota trained mechanics may be experts at Toyotas, but are not expert mechanics, particularly when it comes to other cars. The same concept applies in human health, particularly in the diet/nutrition realm. Being an expert in plant based nutrition does not equal expertise in human nutrition.
There are specialists (experts in a specialty) and there are generalists (who know a decent amount about a lot of different things). The ideal is an expert generalist who knows everything about everything but that does not exist as far as I have ever been able to find.

Antha is mousey and quiet, and tends to stand in the corner during social gatherings; that said, she isn't so much of a wallflower, she just has difficulty reading body language and it makes her seem more awkward than she actually feels.
She is perfectly happy spending time alone, and capable entertaining herself. Her wardrobe is perpetually out-of-date, though she is well practiced at assembling reasonable outfits out of her selection.
Diana's mother died in childbirth still believing that her child was going to be a girl, as her doctors first told her at her initial post-pregnancy checkup, and made her husband vow to name the child Diana after her own grandmother. Diana's father couldn't bear to defy his wife's last wish, so named the child Diana even though it was a boy.
Diana is very defensive about his name, and prefers to be called "D", "Big D" or "Tunvert". He is tall, even for native Nannans, and is overeager to live in the now and on the breaking edge of style and fashion. He is also very judgmental of others and offensively outspoken; Diana will say mean things about people at the slightest provocation, and prefers starting rumors to merely repeating them. He is also very materialistic.
Diana is tall, has a considerable amount of wiry muscle, and is fairly strong.
Fleetli tries to act above her age and maturity, but fails miserably at it. She speaks in the Three-valley-girl language, and considers herself to be one of the "cool kids" or the "in crowd."
She is fairly short, which significantly hampers her ability to seem older than she is, though not as much as her speech patterns. She has a lot of people she considers her friends, but very few who consider her theirs.
Vilea is straight and has a small fear of being attracted to someone homosexually. She is deeply religious and suffers from moderate depression. She is also a significant loner, though she does have a couple of very close friends.

Kilimanjaro not melting after all
A fresh assessment suggests the famous ice fields on Africa's tallest mountain will be around for decades yet. Recent concerns that climate warming would rob Mount Kilimanjaro of all its glaciers within 20 years are overly pessimistic, say Austrian scientists. Their weather station data and modelling work indicate the tropical ice should last well beyond 2040.
Precipitation and not temperature is the key to the white peak's future, the University of Innsbruck-led team says. "About five years ago Kilimanjaro was being used as an icon for global warming. We know now that this was far too simplistic a view," said Thomas Moelg. "We have done different kinds of modelling and we expect the plateau glaciers to be gone roughly within 30 or 40 years from now, but we have a certain expectation that the slope glaciers may last longer," added colleague Georg Kaser.
The group's assessment was presented here at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly meeting. It acts as a counterpoint to the most doom-laden projections for the 5,895m-high (19,340ft) peak, which draws thousands of tourists intrigued by the idea of seeing ice just three degrees south of the equator.
The research team has been using three automated instrument stations on the top of the mountain to collect continuous data on temperature, pressure, solar radiation, humidity and wind. The recording effort was in position late last year to witness heavy snowfall, which will have led to a slight increase in Kilimanjaro's overall ice volume. This glacier growth is only temporary, however. The mountain's ice is dependent on the pulses of moist air that sweep across from the Indian Ocean.
Since the late 1800s, these have become less frequent, and the regular snows that would maintain the ice fields are now a rare occurrence in what has become a much drier climate in East Africa. Today, the total ice extent - on the slopes and on the plateau - is about 2.5 sq km, down from more than eight sq km in the early 1900s. Some scientists have drawn a fairly straight-line curve and forecast a rapid final retreat to a totally bare mountain. But the Innsbruck team is more optimistic about the medium term having now put real field measurements into a comprehensive modelling programme. "Glacier recession has been a feature on Kilimanjaro for more than 100 years, but this is the first time we really have a precise understanding of the physical processes that control the glacier-climate interaction on Africa's highest mountain," said Dr Moelg.
This work emphasises the significance of the lack of precipitation (250mm per year on the summit) versus temperature (a mean of -7C). It indicates that glacier mass loss would be about four times higher if precipitation decreased by 20% than if air temperature on the mountain rose by 1C. Furthermore, it suggests that two-thirds of the ice that is lost goes straight into the atmosphere through sublimation (the direct conversion of snow and ice to water vapour). "In recent years many people have talked about 'the melting glaciers of Kilimanjaro'. If one wants to be more precise, I would call it the 'evaporating glaciers of Kilimanjaro'," said Dr Moelg.
This confirms the view that the African peak does not play an important role as a reservoir for water, unlike in the Andes and the Himalayas where some lowland cities and agricultural systems are dependent on summer melt high in the mountains. "This is not a factor at all at Kilimanjaro and it never has been," said Professor Kaser. "If you brought all the remaining ice down to the Amboseli National Park and melted it, the water would only cover the park to a depth of one or one-and-a-half millimetres. There is nothing in terms of water up there."
The Innsbruck research was conducted in collaboration with the University of Otago, New Zealand, and the University of Massachusetts, US. The team stresses that the drying of the East African climate around Kilimanjaro may itself be a regional impact of global climate change.

Calling for justice system audit in Cuyahoga County, councilman throws in an insult that rankles robes: Michael K. McIntyre's Tipoff
Cuyahoga County Councilman Mike Gallagher.
By Michael K. McIntyre, The Plain Dealer
When Cuyahoga County Council voted to recommend a charter change that would require audits of the justice system every five years, Councilman Mike Gallagher said he was sure of one place such audits would be unpopular: At the Justice Center.
"The people in that tower don't want the information out," said Gallagher, who voted with a majority of his colleagues in committee to recommend voters decide on the charter change. "It would expose people who don't work."
Perhaps he shouldn't have painted with such a broad brush.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy Margaret Russo said she was disappointed with Gallagher's diatribe. She favors an audit, she said.
"It was unfair of him to say," Russo said. "I think any opportunity to make things better is good. I think our judges have done a really good job of trying to improve things."
The audits would recommend ways to improve efficiency, effectiveness and fairness of the courts, the sheriff's department and prosecutor's office.
Common Pleas Court Administrative Judge Nancy Fuerst said the court already is scrutinized by the Ohio Supreme Court, to which is submits monthly reports available to the public, and has undertaken measures to create more detailed accountability. And, she said, she and her colleagues work.
"I think his impression is not based on fact," she said.
Judge John Russo added, "It's already being done. Why create an additional expense or a new wheel? But if you decide you want to do it, if you want to have an additional audit every five years, then audit everybody. Audit every department that way."
