Hmm I listened to about 2 dozens of his podcasts and I feel like the author is really putting a lot of focus on something that I didn’t feel was nearly as emphasised as this post makes it seem. The vast majority of info I think is about behavioural things and processes inside of us and I think him relentlessly reminding us to always check with our health care providers first before taking or stopping to take anything is enough of a preface for me to be alright with him talking about supplements. And while I appreciate the callout of him citing low quality data (albeit I haven’t checked myself who is in the wrong here), I would also like to point to the fact that most of the other interventions he talks about do in fact have lots of proven benefits and are widely recognised as such.
Another questions would be the baseline we are comparing him to. I have two friends who have dramatically improved their lives after stumbling upon his podcast and I also took away quite a few practices that had a positive impact on my life.
If that is the mean effect I am ok with embracing a few imperfections in the data he cites or the supplements he recommends since a lot of people start with a baseline of shitty self destructive behaviour consuming all sorts of really damaging stuff.
