When I first saw the ads for AG1 I laughed my ass off๐Ÿคฃ Obvious bullshit claims are obvious. I really despise the "wellness" industry as it's responsible for my friend's death from cervical cancer๐Ÿ˜ฅ She refused medical treatment and used supplements and such to try and treat it. The FDA needs to start cracking down hard on these charlatans. Oh, the beauty industry is also rife with bullshit. All marketing is propaganda and it's all rotting people's brains.

I'm sorry about your friend. Sadly, we've heard that all too often on the pod, and we even end our book by talking to people who lost family members to exactly that process: avoiding "allopathic" medicine for alt-med protocols, and then they die ๐Ÿ˜ž

Thank you. So tragic and unnecessary. She left a husband and 2 children behind.

That doesn't surprise me๐Ÿ˜ฅ

The way you do 1 thing is the way you do all things. Huberman was a scammer in his personal relationships, didn't give a damn about the health and lives of those women, giving HPV (and thus possibly cancer) to at least 1 of them that we know of so far. So obviously he's a scammer in his "professional" life as well, not giving a damn about the health of his listeners/fans and possibly putting their lives at risk too. I really think Sarah, the woman in the article who contracted HPV from Huberman, should call a lawyer. There could be a case here that sets legal precedent.

Huberman had me suspicious with his "at no cost to the public" as if it's simply a heartfelt altruistic public service. And noticing that he was certainly not doing it for free.

I hear that a lot from fans a lot too, and I'm like, I don't think you know what "free" means in this context...

Great article. It is really shocking how many podcasts are sponsored by AG1. I mean there is no issue with that, but people trust them and think it is a magic pill.

Your friend had the freedom to choose how she wanted to care for herself, and you are condemning her for a choice you do not support. The pain of losing your friend should never blind your compassion. Each of us will always do what one think is better for their own health. This comment has nothing to do with this article.
