S3E120. The Dangerous Truth About Fake Online IBS "Experts"

There are thousands of people online right now calling themselves IBS experts, gut health coaches, and digestive wellness specialists.Most of them have no business doing so.And men with IBS are paying the price — financially, physically, and mentally — by trusting people who aren't qualified to help them.I spent 23 years in the British Army and reached the rank of Warrant Officer Class 1 — Regimental Sergeant Major. I managed IBS throughout most of that career. And I know what it means to make decisions based on bad intelligence.This is bad intelligence. And it's making men sicker.In this clip taken directly from our recent live broadcast I expose exactly what's happening in the online gut health space — the red flags to watch for, the questions you need to ask before trusting anyone with your health, and why the rise of AI is making fake experts more convincing and more dangerous than ever.Because in the UK alone there are an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 unregulated health coaches. In the US — over 128,000. No qualifications required. No registration required. Anyone can call themselves an expert tomorrow morning.You deserve better than that.How to protect yourself:✅ In the UK — check the HCPC register at hcpc-uk.org. If they're not on it they are not a Registered Dietitian.✅ In the US — verify RD or RDN credentials at eatright.org✅ In Canada — check for PDt registration nationallyIf they can't give you a registration number — walk away.🎥 Prefer to watch this on video:👉 Video version. 🎥 Watch the full live broadcast here — including how I managed severe IBS as an RSM leading 600 men and our deep dive into IBS versus bowel cancer red flags:👉 Live Broadcast-Full Video.About your host:Glenn Cooke-Winchurch — Former British Army WO1/RSM. 23 years service.
