Hi,
This Tuesday, we reached 250,000 email subscribers:
On the one hand: neat! A quarter of a million people get these updates. Not bad for a group of science nerds that’s never received outside funding or tried to market themselves in conventional ways.
On the other hand: who really cares? My goal is to provide you with useful health information, not brag.
So I’ll take this opportunity to improve the newsletter. The Examine team is going to start directly answering some of your questions, starting next month.
What questions do you have for Examine?
Unfortunately, we can’t answer all your questions, no matter how much we want to. We just don’t have the resources.
But we want to address some questions that fall into specific categories, like these:
- Common questions that we hear all the time
- Questions about emerging topics
- Questions on complex science that’s hard to understand
- Practical questions
And we want to get these questions directly from you. But since I don’t want to be inundated, let’s try this first:
If your email address starts with a K or a P, feel free to reply to this email with a burning question you have. Otherwise, please hold your horses until your name is called. We’ll only be opening questions from email addresses starting with K or P.
To maximize the likelihood of having your question answered, try to follow these guidelines:
- Keep it succinct. If it’s more than 100 words, I’ll likely skip it.
- Don’t hyperfocus on your personal situation. These answers are meant to help our audience, not just you.
- Your question can be about nutrition, supplements, research methods, or anything that we generally cover on the website.
I’m both curious and excited to see what questions we get! While we can’t answer all the questions we receive, we’ll get to at least a handful of them.
Sincerely, Kamal Patel Co-founder, Examine
