Episode 55: The Grift - Part 2


Listen Later

Amber and Richie break down the viral “hidden parasites” supplement ad. We show the 7-step grift, why smart people fall for it, what it really costs, and what to do instead for type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. No blame. Just tools that work.

What you’ll learn:

  • The 7-step ad formula: symptom net, hidden villain, emotional release, authority disruption, science-speak, miracle ingredient, urgency
  • Why our brains say “yes” (cognitive ease, hope loop, identity)
  • Real costs: money, time (your whole A1C window), and medical delay
  • The one filter to use: “Does this change the core biology of my condition?”
  • What works: walks after meals, fiber, sleep, stress care, strength, and meds when needed
  • Why this matters:

    Complex bodies need layered care. Simple cleanses won’t fix type 2.
