I woke up today to like 500 notifications that Dave Asprey had commented all over my Instagram posts to defend his multi million dollar empire of butter in coffee, selling supplements/detoxes, & his pseudoscience about how LDL doesn’t matter.

I have bro science PRESSED 😅

What’s so funny, is that all of these online “health gurus” are constantly trying to denigrate physicians and say we are all bought by pharma (false), and that our guidelines are BS. Meanwhile they make millions selling alternative therapies & partnering with snake oil companies

But in reality, all they are doing is profiting off of their misinformation - creating more distrust in physicians and evidence based medicine, and making money while they promote pseudoscience and antivax ideologies

But you know what I think presses bro science the most?

I’m a cardiologist
I’m educated and well trained
And mostly...
I’m younger than them, and I’m a woman.

& I won’t stop fighting misinformation on social media for as long as it harms our patients.
