He's not even an MD. He's a chiropractor, and seems to have a HUGE misunderstanding of how the human body works (not surprising, as he never went to med school). He sells dietary supplements. Quack quack quack.

"Highly informative and well researched videos". Nah, he's just pulling shit out of his ass and selling it to the gullible, like any snake oil salesman.
