Finally someone is calling her out

@VMorgenthaler-yp6yz 8 months ago (edited)

I only listen to information from people who: don’t sell supplements; don’t engage in personal attacks; don’t ever say things such as “you’ve been lied to” or “this is what they don’t want you to know”; do nuance; do have education, training, and research experience in the topic they’re discussing; don’t use personal anecdotes. That keeps me safe and well informed.

"Maybe this is why they call her the goddess, because you've got to take the information on faith" 😂😂😂 36:03

One thing I’ve noticed is that as long as a person sounds confident in what they’re saying, many people believe everything that person says. I’ve learned to do my own research and to fact check everyone no matter how confident they sound.

As a doctor working in preventative medicine, I love how you fact check and destroy online quacks. Keep up the good work Gil!

She's a business woman disguised as a social media nutritionist.

@Viva-Longevity 1 year ago

I love it when you make episodes like this. 👏 She's not a nutrition scientist or medical professional but she really knows how to cash in on what people want to hear and miracle pills they want to buy. That's what gets you fame and fortune as an influencer. 😔

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.
Or to quote Yeats:
‘The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.‘
And that was in 1920…

I appreciate that this doctor did not insult anything about the self-proclaimed glucose guru's presentation. It's slick, but the real problem is she's mixing up good information with falsehoods and selling a product that is untested. Unfortunately, some people still don't seem to get it.

It’s great that someone is exposing these online charlatans.

@Ryan_DeWitt 1 year ago

I love how you dismantle arguments without ever resorting to ad hominem, condescending, or rude, or using emotional type arguments. In a classy way with simple basic facts and nothing more. It is not something seen too often on social media. This channel deserves 10x the amount of subscribers it has.

@CheamCreese 1 year ago

I think I watched one of her videos. The over-the-top attention to her clothes, set design, and even the choreography of how she moves around set off big alarm bells for me. 90% marketing bs, 10% accurate science.

@aleksandrl6740 1 year ago

Her level of popularity and attention is disproportionate for the accuracy and value she provides. Thanks for bringing in some sobriety and rigour to this misleading and potentially harmful noise. I admire your work, Doc. Thank you!

@mariia_babii 1 year ago

I followed her on Instagram and watched her videos, and yes, I think they did help a lot of people. But over time, I started getting annoyed by the obsessive focus on keeping blood sugar levels flat. I remember in one story she showed how she brought a tiny bottle of apple cider vinegar with her to a restaurant. People often go to extremes, especially when it comes to nutrition😁

@spleekyspleeks2553 1 year ago

She is a textbook example of the influencer promo cycle. A couple of years ago she came out of nowhere with her first book, made the rounds on social media and appeared in almost every podcast known to man for about 6 months. Now she is back again, selling her own supps and cycles again through all the podcasts.....looks like the strategy is paying off.

@suzy1750 1 year ago

So grateful for this channel. It's like an island of sanity in an ocean of misinformation.

@gsp0819kri 1 year ago

I first came across her videos when I was diagnosed with prediabetes. At the time, I was desperate and easily drawn in by her content. I believed everything she said. That changed when I discovered your videos and those of reputable scientists, many of whom you've featured in your interviews. The insights I’ve gained since then have helped me bring my HbA1c levels back to a normal range. I am eternally grateful to people like you who are true educators. And I do mind her sales pitch, by the way. It's very annoying!

@prasoonkc 1 year ago

She has an attractive personality, and she uses it effectively as a salesperson. In the new world of the social media age, facts do not matter. Attractiveness and confidence do.

@excaliburorz 1 year ago

I completely agree with you. As someone who is pre-diabetic, I’ve found a lot of her content helpful and learned quite a bit from it. That said, I do worry about some of the general statements she makes because health and medication are very individual. What works for one person might not work for another, even when it comes to diet. There is no one-size-fits-all solution or supplement.

I also looked into her background and saw that she has a master’s in biochemistry, which is impressive, but she is not a doctor and does not have medical training. Having a science background is valuable, but it does not automatically qualify someone to give medical advice. I say this as someone with a PhD in chemistry. I would never claim expertise in medicine or give out medical advice because research and medical practice are very different.

I have been vegan for 10 years now. I am 30, completely healthy, full of energy, I dont need coffee to function even tho I drink it everyday. Reading about nutrition to stay healthy.
One day I saw her videos, and I realized everything I eat is bad and unhealthy for me. I lowkey panicked, I thought I was silently killing myself 😅. Then I saw some comments that were disagreeing with her. I got so confused. I started reading on my own about glucose and got more confused. Thank you for the video!
