  You hit the nail on the head with the grandiosity complex red flag.<br>People should always be very suspicious of doctors who have solutions to every medical problem.<br>Only those with a healthy dose of unhealthy narcissism, who are in it form themselves, the money and fame, make those claims.

  Dr. Gundry, I have a wild idea on how to avoid lectins: &nbsp;don&apos;t eat raw uncooked dry beans....

  &quot;I had this thing on my back and it went away,&quot; If that doesn&apos;t sum up the nutrition advice out there, I don&apos;t know what does. Thank you for helping us all keep our cools in the midst of absolute insanity.

  &quot;The real divide is between storytelling and scientific evidence-based content&quot;. Excellent explanation and dissection of the &quot;story telling&quot; phenomena. <br>Once every school graduate would be able to define what is science and the scientific method, the world would be a much better place.

  Gundry has always struck me as someone clearly driven by profit: 1. advocate a moderately healthy diet but give it some new “hooks” that make it appear unique to him and him alone, thereby solidifying an audience/customers; 2. advocate a complementary, “holistic” approach to supplementation that—surprise, surprise—he just so happens to sell himself. They may help, and they probably won’t hurt, so hey! what have you got to lose? Don’t you want to give your body the best chance to heal itself that it deserves? And to make it easy, we have a subscription plan!

  I like how he briefly pinpointed the flaw of influencers, stating something as good or bad as fact, then often times then seen as more knowledgeable or confident. That&apos;s such a big thing in social media communication. Kudos for throwing that nugget in there.

  I think that you’re kinda a light that clears our path. Never seen on a social media this level of kindness mixed with professionality and crystal clear explanations, backed up by evidences. God bless you Man.

  This is perfect. Dr Gundry will come and go, as all of us will. But his particular brand of storytelling will never go away.

  I started watching Dr Gundry about a year ago and kept saying to myself, &quot;Wait, what?&quot; As a scientist myself I was becoming increasingly disappointed and even embarrassed about his bold claims and blanket statements without robust evidence such as double-blinded RCTs, their replication, and RCT meta analyses. I&apos;ve since stopped watching his channel, quickly noticing how he states his claims as facts. Thank you for bringing this sort of thing to attention. It&apos;s so easy for people to be convinced by the &quot;Dr&quot; title.

  Dr. Gundry sells various &quot;health&quot; supplements on his website. That&apos;s what he is about. Critical thinking is so important in life. I remember when the &quot;infomercial&quot; was introduced. People in lab coats, calling everyone &quot;doctor&quot; (doctor of what? There are online programs to obtain doctorate degrees in useless subjects). Critical thinking SHOULD be taught in high school.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LMNM88AJDM&amp;t=838">13:58</a> I have to reprimand myself every time I do this: don&apos;t attack the messenger, listen to the message and scrutinize that. Too often I&apos;ll ignore the words of someone I don&apos;t trust or like, and miss an accurate message. More important is to think critically and weigh it against the data we have. That&apos;s the beauty of the scientific method.
