Goldner Says “Be Curious” — But Where’s the Data?

Dr. Brooke Goldner recently went on Chef AJ’s channel and framed critics as “ego‑driven” and “not curious.” But is questioning extraordinary claims really ego — or is it how science works?

In this video, I break down:

* Why her “results” are testimonials, not clinical evidence
* The bold claim that unlimited flax oil leads to weight loss — and what research actually says
* The rumor about Goldner’s program “beating” water fasting at TrueNorth — and why it falls apart under scrutiny
* The overlooked role of psychological support in her $6,000 program

If you’ve seen Goldner’s interview (or heard her claims), this video will give you the context — and the receipts. Stay curious — and evidence‑based.
