“Based on this information again, you were a doctor and I was a doctor. And then I started realizing that I had to just look at the medical literature and just talk to colleagues. And so I had the advantage of being able to read an article and saying, well, this is bad quality. Or to be able to call up a friend and say, hey, I need to speak to an expert on this. And I just thought the information that I would get back from these experts.”

“Yeah, I would go online and I'd look things up, and it would be so easy to fall down, you know, the rabbit hole with the clickbait and this company saying they had this product or this specialty pharmacy saying they could make this thing.

And I became really interested in how people access information online when I went through my own medical issues.

“Hi, I'm Kara Swisher, editor at large of Recode. You may know me as someone who literally can't believe there's a popular company named Goop, but in my spare time I talk tech and you're listening to Reco Decode from the Vox Media Podcast Network. Today in the red chair is Dr. Jen Gunther, who's an OBGYN and Pain Medicine physician, but more importantly, she's been a pain in the ass for the wellness industry and I love her for that. She's written a lot of excellent articles about the truth behind medical claims of companies like Gwynneth Paltras Company Goop, which just got featured in the New York Times. Apparently jade eggs aren't supposed to go up there, Jen. Welcome to Reco Deco.”
