Wellness: Fact vs. Fiction

GI Myths Busted – Coffee Enemas, Colonics & Parasites


Listen Later

Join Dr. Danielle Belardo and her expert of the week, TikTok’s favorite gastroenterologist Dr. Austin Chiang, to get to the bottom (pun intended) of the most common GI myths. Austin is one of the most influential voices in the field of gastroenterology online, and on today’s episode he sheds light on the enormous amount of misinformation being shared on social media that could be detrimental to your health.   

 

Danielle and Austin debunk myths and misconceptions surrounding: 

 

  • Parasite cleanses and rope worms  
  • Colonics and coffee enemas 
  • Probiotics, candida and gut microbiome testing 
  • Gluten-free diets and celiac disease  


  • Dr. Austin Chiang is a triple board-certified, dual ivy-league educated and trained gastroenterologist and advanced endoscopist. In October 2021, he became the first Chief Medical Officer of the gastrointestinal business for Medtronic, the world’s leading medical device company responsible for products to help endoscopists better prevent colon cancer. Dr. Chiang is currently an Assistant Professor of Medicine and serves as the Director of the Endoscopic Weight Loss Program and Chief Medical Social Media Officer at Jefferson Health.
