Real solid research trumps personal experience every time. Personal experience is an N of 1 experiment. Talking to lots of people with direct experience and synthesizing all of that knowledge is research. Usually professionals who do research for a living are better than the average joe at doing said research.

Hating research and admiring experience and the first person perspective is one of the reasons we have such a proliferation of quack medical treatments and the success of companies like Goop.
