Elise Koskinen
The evidence auditor · from Joensuu, Finland
Elise spent six years checking clinical trials before she moved to SLO. She reads the primary paper so you don't have to, and she's the loving no when a claim doesn't hold up.

Who this is for
Not the diagnosed. The decades before.
A diagnosis is not a beginning. It is a scoreboard for a game that has been running for ten years or more.
Nobody failed. The system was designed to treat conditions once they exist, and it does that well. Treatment is always good, and earlier is always better. But in the years before anything has a name, no doctor is directing you. You are alone with a hundred experts who disagree. That gap is where we work.
The method
SLO & Steady
Everyone else hands you a list of forty things. We tell you the order and the pace.
- Step 1
Pick one or two
Start with the protocols the most experts agree on. One or two, never ten.
- Step 2
Run them until they’re automatic
No calendar and no 21-day myth. You are done when you stop having to decide.
- Step 3
Then add the next
Each habit that sticks makes room for the next one. That is how it lasts for decades.
Urgency about starting. Patience about accumulating.
Your hosts
A skeptic and a caretaker, one table apart.
Declan “Dec” Boyd
The outdoor guide · from Newcastle, Australia
Dec runs an outfitter business and volunteers with ocean rescue. He brings in what works for real people on a real Tuesday, and he's the proof that one habit, done every day, becomes permanent.
They disagree about the vehicle, never the destination. She swears by pickled herring, he swears by Vegemite, and they both land on the same rule: eat something fermented every day. Same rule, different kitchen.
How every claim is shown
We show the receipt.
We have no medical licence and we never pretend to. Our authority comes from method. Every recommendation names who recommends it, links the primary source, and says plainly where the experts split.
The line is always “these experts recommend this,” never “you should take this.”
- Claim
- What is being said, in one plain sentence
- Who backs it
- The named experts who recommend it, and how many of them agree
- Source
- The primary study, linked, with any sponsorship flagged
- Where they split
- The honest disagreement, reported in full
- Verdict
- Start it, wait for better evidence, or skip it
