Welcome to Behind the Science

Have you ever wondered why gratitude improves our mood? Why stress affects our bodies? What we really inherit from our parents? Or whether vitamin D has a role in our health?

The older I've become, the more curious I've become. Curious about the world, about people, and about the remarkable science that shapes our lives. I've learned that understanding why can be just as powerful as knowing what. That's why I created Behind the Science, a place where complex research is translated into everyday language, helping us better understand our minds, our bodies and ourselves.

Every day we're surrounded by headlines, social media posts and health claims. Some are backed by solid research, while others are little more than myths.
