The subject is "notable" only because of what he spends on advertising. This article falsely implies the guy is a credible doctor. 2607:FB91:D70:331:AC2F:7D50:10FF:FEB0 (talk) 14:36, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How is someone who was the head of cardiothoracic surgery at Loma Linda University Medical Center at one time not a credible doctor? Darlig 🎸 ^{Talk to me} 21:05, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

People can change, and doctors can lose their credibility. Somebody who WAS a credible doctor has less medical authority than someone who IS a credible doctor, and the people who ARE credible doctors say differently than he. Stuf159 (talk) 22:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Better characterize Gundry's beliefs

I watched Steven Gundry's interview with Mike Varshavski. He says:

We have an epidemic of autoimmune disease in this country. And I, among others, think that all diseases, coronary artery disease, is in fact an autoimmune disease. And so if you fix the underlying problem of autoimmune disease, which I and others happen to think is intestinal permeability, leaky gut, then that autoimmune disease resolves.

Gundry claims lectins are "destroying your gut" and "all disease comes from a leaky gut." This article and the lectin-free diet article don't mention his leaky gut beliefs, and they probably should. I'm not sure if there are any suitable sources that go into this level of detail though. ScienceFlyer (talk) 22:44, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any issues with using registered dietician Abby Langer per WP:PARITY? Still having problems finding sources that address his claims. ScienceFlyer (talk) 22:12, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abby Langer is evidence-based and qualified in this area, I believe she should be cited on this. There are very few evidence-based nutrition influencers these-days, sadly. Another source that passes WP:RS that might be of use on the article is [1] Psychologist Guy (talk) 00:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
