A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Dr. Gregor is very knowledgeable, and believes sincerely in the content he puts out. There is a strong basis of research for all of his claims, which help educate people on healthy behaviors for improved longevity. However, there is an unmistakable bias in this podcast: everything is 100% vegan, such that meat/animal products are portrayed as evil.
Yes, it very well may be true that a plant-based diet is healthier than one containing animal products, but it is simply misleading to assert that a plant-based diet is better than the alternative in every way, which seems to be the claim here. For example, not once will you hear Dr. Gregor concede any advantages of animal foods (e.g., protein quality and nutrient absorption) without trying to debunk it promptly.
Nevertheless, I like this podcast and recommend it. However, it is far from free of bias.

Thank you for this work! Top-notch content to improve daily habits whether plant-based or not. Delivery makes it hard to absorb though, due to rushed sentences and sudden stops and slowdowns. Even at 0.8x playback, some bits are too rushed to follow.

Great podcasts and great information! ❤️But your delivery and intonation can be improved, it made it hard to follow or understand sometimes. I also suggest that science studies best be explained like in a conversation style, instead of like reading a peer reviewed journal! also a lot “ums" and "uhs” when you not following script, a Toastmaster program might help! Honestly, I think you can gain far more audiences and have more impact by improving your delivery style! Thanks for your work though!

I deeply appreciate the work Dr Greger has done and the fact that his information is evidence based through scientific research. I’ve learned so much from him and others in the WFPB community. By following these suggestions, at age 72 I feel better than I ever have in my life and have more energy and stamina, as well as hope for many quality years into my future.
Attorney Kath · Jun 2025
He seems to be pushing a completely plant based diet, which is absolutely healthy and can work for some people, but does not work for many others. He seems to not have a subjective view on research- he may be biased. This podcast might be a great one for older people, but looking back to listening to this when I was young person, it can see it gave me a fear of food, which I still struggle with, and well as gut issues #beans, which I also still struggle with. Take his info with a grain of salt. I also know he is just putting out the info that he truly believes in, but I wish he could be a bit more curious.
