A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I genuinely can’t imagine where I’d be without your podcast. It has opened up so many doors in my life. Is my life perfect now? No, but it may as well be in comparison to what was left behind. I love you and I love your partners who spend genuine love and concern about your content and who you bring and the wisdom you provide us. Genuinely thank you

Django808 · Jul 2026

Shawn is one of the first podcasts I subscribed to many years ago. As a health enthusiast and streak runner (runeveryday.org) for 27 years, I need all the help I can get to continue to run every day and lead a healthy life. I listen to Shawn and can’t help but share his podcasts. He does the research I don’t want to do… I love his delivery and his humor. His backstory lends to his ability to reach a wide audience. He’s relatable and fun to listen to. Thank you, Shawn!

prgordon20 · Jul 2026

Thank you Shawn. Great show. The content, the pace, the clarity and detail that Nisma delivered was exceptional. He comes across as really solid man as well.

MattMartinelli · Jul 2026

I love each and every episode of The Model Health Show! I make sure to save these podcasts for when I start my workout. The theme music always gets me dancing and ready for my time at my home gym. I have found that laying out bands, Balance boards, foam rollers, or kettle bells where are my family is spending time results in a lot of natural gravitation toward moving. I’m so glad for the years of mentorship this podcast has provided me. There’s no one else like Shawn - I love his ethos of staying strong to be of service. What a great model for us all!

JennyMichaelG · May 2026

Absolutely filled with wonderful truths about nutrition, biochemistry and microbiota. And filled with utter lies and false narratives without a single scientific review which supports these ideas. I am a Harvard trained Doctor -DMD, with two PhDs in sports nutrition , and natural medicine. He would lose his license for instructing patients to remove teeth/implants as he states they are the cause of cancer, Parkinson’s , dementia and more. I would gladly debate his theories at any point, as harming patients in the guise of protecting them is malpractice at best. What is tragic is he teaches incredible sound biological principles in one area, then connects that information with disinformation and non-truths. He even states that research isn’t valid among other things in this podcast- are you kidding. The scientific method is the baseline for establishing truth from supposition. I love his energy. His passion for genuine health and a deep desire to advance a more holistic approach to medicine is admirable and truly needed. But that desire does not allow for the delivery of falsehoods, unsubstantiated claims or outright clinical malpractice. I will gladly substantiate any aspect of my accusation and concern. My intent of this review is to protect the patient. To defend the integrity of science and to inform all of the truth.

Fatherof5and2 · Sep 2025

For how much research Shawn usually does, the episode on back pain gave me some concerns. He leads Dr. Grant on the “myths” of back pain about curves and hips being level. There is abundant evidence published in quality peer reviewed journals, Q1 & Q2, about spinal alignment. I see patients all day everyday who have had zero progress with rehab only care, until we work their spine to a normal for them alignment. Which does exist, and can be determined on their X-rays.
