387: Dr. Gundry Put ChatGPT’s Health Advice to the Test—Here’s What Happened
I’m tackling a question I get more and more often. Can AI replace your doctor? Specifically, we’re putting ChatGPT versus Dr. G to the test.
We talk about where tools like ChatGPT can be genuinely helpful for understanding health and where relying on it can actually steer you in the wrong direction if you’re not careful. I explain what AI does well, what it can’t see, and why context matters far more than most people realize.
I also dig into blood tests, which ones are actually worth your time and money, and which ones are overhyped, unnecessary, or even misleading if you don’t know how to interpret them correctly.
If you’ve ever Googled your lab results, asked an AI for health advice, or wondered whether you’re testing too much or not enough, this episode is going to give you clarity.

Dr. Steven Gundry is a renowned heart surgeon and New York Times bestselling author of “The Plant Paradox” and “The Plant Paradox Cookbook.”
Dr. Gundry, I’ve been ‘training’ my MS Copilot AI by asking “What would Dr. Gundry say about…?” When I get a wrong answer like “fruits and vegetables,” I reply — Weren’t you listening to “Give fruit the boot!?” AI apologizes and reminds me of its correction the next opportunity it finds! Some of us in the Lectin Free–That’s Me! Facebook Private Group have been taking this approach with different AI tools. We agree completely with you that they tell us what we want to hear. That said, when I’m soft on details and don’t remember which of your Books to reference, they save me time and help me choose good compliant substitutes for recipes. Looking forward to Zooming with you TWICE in 2026. Happy New Year!
