Episode #174: 7 Signs You’re Being Manipulated (watch out for these signs!) - Dylan Gemelli

19. oktober 2026 · 27m

Over the years, I've had the privilege of learning from some incredible doctors, experts, and people from all walks of life. And through my work, my podcast, and the thousands of conversations I've had, I've started noticing something that genuinely concerns me.

People don't know who to trust anymore.

There's so much conflicting information out there, especially when it comes to health, nutrition, supplements, and the advice we see on social media. Everyone seems to have an answer, everyone claims to be an expert, and too many people are more interested in selling you something than actually helping you.

But something I've learned over the years, including through my own mistakes, is that being knowledgeable doesn't mean having all the answers. I've had to learn to admit when I'm wrong, question my own beliefs, and understand that what works for one person might not work for another.

That's why I wanted to dedicate this episode to something I believe everyone needs to understand: how to recognize someone you shouldn't trust.

In this episode, I talk about:

■ The biggest red flags to look for when deciding who to trust

■ Why some people get angry when you question their advice

■ How influencers and affiliate marketing contribute to health misinformation

■ Why you don't need every supplement or the latest health trend

■ The dangers of fear-based health advice and trying to live a perfectly healthy life

■ The importance of humility, accountability, and thinking for yourself

My goal isn't to tell you that I'm always right or that you should only listen to me. It's actually the opposite.

I want you to ask more questions, challenge what you're being told, and learn to recognize the difference between people who genuinely want to help you and those who have other intentions. Enjoy the episode, God bless, and I'll see you in the next one!
