In a business, where science, truth, and integrity are core to his brand. I think this really damaged his image.
I think he really needs to respond and not just brush aside these allegations against his character. Admitting real fault and harm and seeking help would've shown some humility and maturity. No one is perfect, but in an industry where you talk about how to optimize your health, mental, physical and relationships. It's a bad look.
I will say that I have personally benefited from some of his presentations and discussions with experts on various topics like eye health. For that I am grateful.
I will also say, some of his podcasts lacked tighter presentation and would veer into questionable science or studies.
