Folks like RFK Jr need to focus on how gluten is literally everywhere. It ticks all the moral panic boxes (gluten is everywhere, in inappropriate settings like yogurt, does actually affect people negatively, no rules about what you can or can't put it in) and they'd (🤞🏼) actually help some people.

2025-07-23 22:22:27 +0000 UTCI'm super late to this party, but as someone who has done a lot of shopping for Gluten intolerant family members; you'd be shocked how many yoghurt brands use flour as a thickener. It's super annoying, bc there's absolutely no reason for wheat to be in there 😅

Lily Roberts
2025-01-03 02:59:47 +0000 UTCThey do that with oats too, add wheat flour to keep it from caking or something. So if you can't eat gluten you need to find gluten free oats. It's very weird
Heather Hawkes
2024-08-19 18:33:46 +0000 UTCApparently grapes are often like polished with stuff that contains gluten (I think it’s usually flour and water?) to make them look shiney so the gluten free grapes thing isn’t as silly as it sounds

2023-05-08 22:42:47 +0000 UTCI'm a big fan of both of you, Aubrey & Mike! Coming into the comments here to ask if there is anything this community can do to help us get the word out about https://here4thekids.com/. I know lots of folks here are in social justice and will want to know about this. We are 100% volunteers, led by BIPOC women and staffed by white women to get guns banned in the U.S. Because gun violence is the #1 killer of kids in America, but also because the Second Amendment was born out of white supremacy. That's the real history. We're gathering in Denver on June 5th. Go support the movement now or look for me on IG @FacilitatorOnFire. Thanks everybody in advance!
Kay Coughlin
2023-04-29 18:36:54 +0000 UTCIt seems like she and her marketing guy husband are just doing these short, no info, product placement videos. She actually reached out to the company I work for to get a free product (our products start at about $5K) and I passed because her account to me has no substantive value to it, and is not hitting our core customer base. So, I believe the account is real, slickly produced, with lots of free stuff to plug and use for her. I personally find this 'influencer grift' so gross .

2023-04-17 05:40:04 +0000 UTCI love your banter and listening to you keeps me out of restriction in a fun way. I started slipping into eating disorder when i was about 12 reading my mom's Prevention magazines and read Jethro Kloss. I became anorexic, thought I discovered bulimia, then just constantly restricted until very recently. I'm 59. At one time i was convinced I could "heal my thyroid" with coconut oil. Maybe you could do a show about that? Thanks, Lisa

2023-04-16 13:43:52 +0000 UTCThanks so much for another fab episode! As an Aussie, I do everything I can so ignore this dickhead, so you are a great way to digest his antics in a fun way. Just wanted to mention that I hink that what Joel Salatin was referring to re farm animals helping with climate change was Regenerative Agriculture. I'm just aware of it because I worked at a government environmental organisation that was finding on-farm trials around it because of its role in carbon sequestration. Your mate Joel Salatin is an advocate for it, but despite his reputation, from what the scientists I worked with said, this farming method does have some promise, hence the research.

2023-04-13 03:38:02 +0000 UTCi think it's really problematic when medically supervised interventions are appropriated by grifters. Same with poo transplants, good for a subset of people but dangerous for others and should be medically supervised
Meh
2023-04-12 12:27:42 +0000 UTCJust a note on the Keto diet for epilepsy, it’s extreme, it’s not low carb, high protein, it’s almost no carb (max 30gm a day from memory), moderate protein and very high fat. It’s quite different from the standard Paelo/Keto for weight loss and has no wriggle room. Patients are medically supervised, it’s very strict. It is also not a cure all, it only works for a subset of patients. I earned my ban from Pete Evan’s now defunct Facebook page for reaching out to help a distressed mother who had a child with intractable epilepsy who had been told that Keto and medical cannabis would not be an effective form of treatment for her child. Pete of course was saying “ignore the doctors”. I had experience through my nephew who has intractable epilepsy for whom this diet and MC did not work.

2023-04-12 04:13:31 +0000 UTCAs an Australian living in the US, I could not believe how much sugar is added to everything in this country. Everything is so sweet, either from artificial sweeteners or sugar but just under other names.

Margaret Casey
2023-04-08 20:09:55 +0000 UTCThis episode is getting me through the rest of my workday. Hearing how batshit crazy all of these folks are helps me stay off of the eating disorder train. For a future episode, do you think you could look up Brooke Shields' diet book that she talks about in the "Pretty Baby" docuseries and maybe compare it with Elizabeth Taylor's book? Both women are beauty icons with different public personas, but they seem to have some interesting parallels.
Srsly Awkward
2023-04-06 20:58:33 +0000 UTCmaybe a future eps. i have been watching dance moms because im trash and need a show to just marinate to lol. i was blown away by all of the fatphobia towards abby (who sucks for obvious reasons) but it made me so upset to see all of the insults towards her being about her fatness. such a bummer element of the show besides the blatant emotional abuse towards kids. Anyway, not watching anymore…
Zoey Vagner
2023-04-06 14:58:24 +0000 UTCI’m so fucking mad about this. The point that y’all made about how the potential damage that this kind of thing can do in terms of not seeking actual medical care is so fucking real. My former best friend has brain cancer and it not treating it because she’s so sure that keto and cannabis oil are going to cure her.

No consideration of possibly causing EDs or possible past EDs. Will be forever grateful for you guys debunking weirdos like Pete.
Lauren W
2023-04-04 14:32:17 +0000 UTCIf he was hosting bar trivia and gave up gluten, he probably also stopped drinking beer! Cutting out a few pints a week would probably make you less bloated and sluggish, any supposed gluten intolerance aside. Also, I have a good friend with celiac disease and people going gluten free for trendy reasons was one of her pet peeves. When it became a fad, she felt like a lot of people didn't take her diagnosed allergy seriously.
Allie L.
2023-04-04 14:20:33 +0000 UTCThis episode reminded me so viscerally of a conversation with former acquaintance who was (probably still is) really into all the worst wellness takes. Setting: When everyone was gluten free for no reason at all. In response to my suggestion that people should not fake food allergies or legit physical intolerance of ingredients because they do not like an ingredient, and unless you have said medical issue, gluten likely will not harm you, she was very put out. Why? Well, she was certain I was wrong because her husband stopped eating gluten and lost his belly bloat and icky feeling evening sluggishness. I pointed out that her husband hosted bar trivia several nights a week as his second or third job and giving up gluten meant by necessity he was also likely no longer eating greasy, fried pub food for dinner most nights a week. And so the reduced bloat and sluggishness likely had more to do with reducing his intake of the fried/greasy/heavy meals that make a lot of people feel a bit blergh. This was of course the wrong answer. It was the flour all along (sarcasm font). She was also anti-vax, had an entire ‘baby shower’ dedicated to people doing shit like rubbing her feet and cleaning her house, and was in many other ways exhausting, so it was all pretty on par.

I’ve been thinking so much about you all as they’ve been releasing their position on the new AAP guidelines for child weight-loss. It’s so encouraging! They’ve been posting lots on Instagram if you’re interested in seeing what’s being shared. Btw, someone asked if she would be interested in being on Maintenance Phase and she said she’d love to if you’d have her but that’s not exactly your style of podcast 😊

2023-04-03 18:45:18 +0000 UTCThere have been a few sunscreens that have been recalled due to trace amounts of benzene being found in its formula. I think that's all the ones that are aerosol sprays, though. Sunscreen is still better than nothing, but I'm sure that recall just absolutely fed into the conspiracy theories..
Emilie Miranda Crouse
2023-04-03 17:03:43 +0000 UTCTrue, but I think we can safely say that when people talk about chemicals they are talking about ones that are known carcinogens. To me that sort of statement down plays real issues just at much as people like Pete acting like random things are bad like stuff in lettuce or whatever.

Ember
2023-04-02 17:16:18 +0000 UTCWe should absolutely be labelling for certified gluten free to help those with celiac navigate safely through the maze of products that y'all can have. But for most of these labels these days it's just jumping on the bandwagon it feels like. It's crossed the line from when it's common sense and helpful to just insane. Why would grapes (or any fruit) be in danger of containing gluten in the first place?
Suzan Lemont
2023-04-02 07:55:28 +0000 UTCYeah, like all human cells feed on sugar too. That's why our body breaks down macrobutrients like fat into sugar. It's a very weird take.
Naomi
2023-04-02 02:38:54 +0000 UTCI would love a Jason Fung episode. He does a lot on intermittent fasting too, which I don't think you've discussed. Lots of facile arguments in the clips I've seen of him.
Naomi
2023-04-02 02:28:26 +0000 UTCSpeaking of Dr. Jason Fung, I'm requesting an episode on him and his fasting empire, which includes his books The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, and The Complete Guide to Fasting. From what I can tell, he must be making a ton of money on subscriptions/memberships, fasting consultations/coaching, and fasting retreats.

However it also is part of a whole conversation about different types of carbon sinks, many of which will involve rewilding and reducing agricultural use in non-grassland environments.

Chelsea
2023-03-31 20:53:57 +0000 UTCMy kid was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 3 so the part about Abigail broke my heart. My kid's neurologist made it very clear that Keto's benefits for any seizure reduction would not outweigh the nutritional benefits of a balanced diet. It's so hard to watch your young child go through a chronic illness and it's easy to look for things to magically cure them. The best thing a parent can do is get grounded in reality of a diagnosis, advocate for their kids, and make sure the kid know you love them no matter what and help them navigate the challenges of a chronicle illness or disability. Living in fantasy land hurts you and more importantly your kid.

Sheridan Howe
2023-03-31 19:09:20 +0000 UTClove you both so much! one note on gluten labeling at grocery stores: as someone with celiac it's INCREDIBLY helpful when yogurts and other "simple" things label if it's gluten-free (with the little official badge especially), because that means there are no gluten contaminants within ingredients like "natural flavors", or no wheat ingredients in a flavor like "strawberry cheesecake". it also means there hasn't been any cross-contamination with gluten-containing items during the harvesting or manufacturing process (oats are a great example). staying contaminant-free is SO much easier if companies will have their products tested and get that little badge, even if it seems like overkill to others. appreciate you both <3

2023-03-31 15:46:04 +0000 UTCOmg, I can't wait to listen, but I have to because if I listen without Tom he'll get mad 😅 Thanks for making awesome podcasts that we can listen to together, and fuck Pete Evans.

2023-03-31 15:37:47 +0000 UTCI *have* seen discussions of properly managed grazed grasslands as being a carbon sink rather than an emissions source... but that's usually in the context of the US prairie and buffalo. I think it's an interesting idea worth researching but also... definitely not what current cattle ranchers are doing.

2023-03-31 15:25:00 +0000 UTCChemical sunscreen is a genuine form of sunscreen classification - it means that it contains chemicals that absorb the UV rays, as opposed to physical sunscreens eg zinc oxide that physically block UV rays. Some sunscreens use a combination of both types. 'Chemical' in this sense isn't used pejoratively, it's just a neutral description of how the sunscreen works. Many people prefer chemical sunscreens as they are usually lighter and physical sunscreen often leaves a white cast.

2023-03-31 15:24:01 +0000 UTCYes exactly, it's about guaranteeing a lack of gluten contamination and not just a lack of gluten-containing ingredients. Also many non-food products contain wheat and other forms of gluten, eg cosmetic vitamin E is often synthesised from wheat.

2023-03-31 15:20:49 +0000 UTCOk, I ADORE you and I enjoyed this bonus ep, but you missed the boat dunking on GF labels on obviously GF foods. Of course yogurt *should* br GF, but there are so many places that gluten sneaks into processed foods via cross-contamination. A GF label is a legally enforceable statement that the product is below the legal threshold for gluten cross-contamination and is safe for those of us with celiac to eat. I love seeing it on every fucking thing, however silly it seems to other people. There are places in the world where fresh produce is treated with a wheat-based product. Want to tell me your apples are GF? I will smile and say thanks. 😘

2023-03-31 14:38:00 +0000 UTCThe sunscreen conspiracy has a far reach! I first encountered it in the comments section of a NYT article a few years ago where several comments (with lots and lots of 'recommends') were advocating that wearing sunscreen was worse than putting nothing on and that sunscreen did not prevent skin cancer. Truly a bonkers position!

2023-03-31 14:04:33 +0000 UTCThe commercial to the clip was a 3-minute long video about a new "fat dissolving loophole" that promised significant weight loss without regard to food or exercise, which is also a secret from a far-away Vietnamese village that modern execs don't want you to know about since it will hamper profits. It was a Maintenance Phase goldmine!

2023-03-31 13:33:00 +0000 UTCI know we’re all sick to death of Gwyneth coverage, but I’d love to hear epis on GP cronies. Like the grifter interviewing her Dr Will Cole?! 🤮 Or Shiva Rose 🥀 love you both so much.

2023-03-31 12:37:56 +0000 UTClol As someone with Celiac, I'm all for jumping on the wheat hate bandwagon - yes, let's go! 🤸♀️- but I don't eat any and I'm still fat AF, so I find their claims about it being "the perfect obesogen" very amusing. 😄

2023-03-31 11:58:17 +0000 UTCspeaking of fasting cures, criminal podcast just dropped an interesting episode about an early american wellness grifter you should "enjoy.". https://thisiscriminal.com/episode-212-the-fasting-cure-3-24-2023

2023-03-31 11:50:59 +0000 UTCI'm so sick of the "cancer feeds on sugar" (and by extension if you're the imitable Medical Medium and that ilk, viruses feed on sugar and other 'poisons' like eggs, dairy etc.) b.s.! Here's an excellent and really digestible article that explains super complex physical processes involving sugar and cancer: https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2020/10/20/sugar-and-cancer-what-you-need-to-know/ Just another example of a grifter trying to go viral and feeding on the vulnerabilities and ignorance of their followers. It's disgusting! Kind of like anyone wearing a mullet these days. LOL
