All these people hype up one specific part that people should improve, typically by doubling down and doing solely that. A balanced lifestyle doesn’t land you interviews with Oprah.

So that typically implies these people already know that what they’re doing and teaching is extreme and should not be general advice, yet they’re ignoring it. It takes a certain type of personality that is willing to become famous selling people inaccurate / wrong health advice for the sake of becoming famous.

The liver king is another “celebrity” that was recently outed and gave outrageous advice. In theory, there is some truth in what he says (livers do contain a lot of nutrients as it’s where your body stores a lot of vitamins necessary for metabolism), but then he took he 100 steps further with the lifestyle, and also denied using steroids, which he obviously did.

All these people are weird and unhinged.
