As someone rooting for science and facts, I admire the likes of Dr Jen Gunter. A US-based obstetrician and gynaecologist, Dr Gunter slices through the hogwash health advice and products actress Gwyneth Paltrow peddles on her Goop website with an unflinching scalpel.
She’s hit a nerve.
The Goop team and two of their featured doctors have dedicated a whole post to Dr Gunter, accusing her of critiquing Goop to try and “bring attention” to herself.
Dr Gunter eloquently responded on her blog, yielding this killer comeback: “I am not strangely confident about vaginal health; I am appropriately confident because I am the expert.”
This piece in the New York Times profiles the gynaecologist and provides a quick rundown for the uninitiated.
For all the fun, visit Dr Gunter’s blog at https://drjengunter.wordpress.com. And please, don’t take health advice from an actress. Just don’t.
