4.5 out of 5 stars from 1.3k ratings
  • Disappointing ads

    I would have given 5 stars because I love your content, but I only have 4 stars because you are choosing to run McDonald’s and KFC ads which is very disturbing considering what you preach. Money is obviously more important I guess?

  • Adds and Dangerous Information

    This podcast has transitioned into a series of advertisements and dangerous health advise. Some guests are great, some are dangerous, and some are snake oil salesman.

    Update: lowering to a 1 star and unsubscribing. They have been sending Jay Shettys podcast weekly under this title. That ma makes my skin crawl.
