I'm like, well, I don't actually know that person.

I'm just very careful about those associations.

And I'm not saying everybody needs to do that.

That's just what I've decided for me is the right thing.

And so I just think that when you're telling somebody, when you have doctors online making these statements about, oh, you need to get your hormone testing, or you need to buy my supplement, or they're not saying you need to buy it, but like every fourth video is, or whatever, then...

You are taking advantage of people.

That's what I find.

And I think some people are doing it simply for attention.

Attention is a currency.

I mean, that's why a lot of people are influencers.

I mean, some people don't ever sell products.

It's just the attention, right?

So there's that.

I think some people are maybe hoping to build brands in other ways.

Other people are maybe trying to funnel people to clinics.

And other people have products to sell or books to sell or whatever else.

And so I think it's just important to kind of look at how the messaging works.

what is that messaging attached with and what is that person getting out of it?

Well, I think one of the ones that has been in my mind a lot recently would be the claim that menopause hormone therapy has been definitively shown to reduce the risk of dementia.

So no.
