Tammy: I don’t have a public site, beyond this one – which is mostly devoted to supps, although I do discuss various health/nutrition/exercise topics here on the blog.

I also moderate a couple of private, members only sites: Brink’s Bodybuilding Revealed and Brink’s Fat Loss Revealed – both sites are connected to their respective e-books, and members can ask questions about their diets and workouts on the forums (a 1 year membership comes with each book purchase).

Nonetheless, there’s some good, free content out there, too. On the nutrition side of things, The World’s Healthiest Foods has a lot of good info and recipes. ExRx.net has a lot of good exercise/workout-related info as well, ranging from beginner to advanced. One source I like concerning vitamins, minerals and key nutraceuticals is the Linus Pauling Institute Micronutrient Information Center at Oregon State University. And, of course, the ultimatefatburner.com site is a great resource for info on commercial supplements. Natural bodybuilder and fitness guru Tom Venuto’s site also has a lot of good health/fitness articles and tips.

Call me squeamish, but I tend to try and avoid doctors who say they’ve seen more than their fair share of people alive one day and dead the next: kind of like a dentist enticing me in with the promise he’s seen more than his fair share of patient’s teeth fall out!

Dr. Suzanne was a practicing chiropractor in Roswell, GA. I was one of her patients. She claims to have moved to AZ, but is suspected to live in FL. She is NOT to be trusted. Her online SCAM is really a ponzi scheme and the legal authorities are all over it.

It would be interesting if you dropped by 4400 North Scottsdale Road # 9372, Scottsdale, AZ, Brent, and see just what’s there. Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst, Inc and Ask Dr Suzanne, Inc – according to the AZ Corporations Commission do not exist.

Dr. Suzie apparently lives in the Atlanta area.

Anyhow, something you said has me puzzled, Brent. You noted in your post: “It’s funny how all of this stuff is seen in one’s colon, but it’s never observed when people get a colonoscopy.”

Well, when a person’s going for a colonoscopy, they have to drink a bottle of that magic poo juice the night before to clean out the colon so they can drive the scope up the ol’ Hershey Highway – right?

So by the time you show up at the hospital in the morning for the procedure, you’ve already crapped yourself clean.

So why would you expect to see all this goop in the colon then? The idea was to clean it out before you showed up, wasn’t it?

Just wondering exactly what you meant.

Thanks Brent! And if you find anything out about Dr. S., let me know.

Nice blog. I just read the ad and was just disgusted. “Dr.” Suzanne is right up there with Kevin Trudeau. It’s funny how all of this stuff is seen in one’s colon, but it’s never observed when people get a colonoscopy.

I’m a family medicine physician, and happen to train quite a lot as well. Ads like this just tend to piss me off, because they are simply aimed at extracting money from people.

I notice that Dr. Suzanne has an office in Scottsdale, where I happen to live. I might have to drop by and see what her credentials are.

Of note, if she were an osteopath (a D.O.) she wouldn’t show up with the AMA. But she couldn’t advertise as Dr either, it’s against AOA policy. She would have to identify herself as Suzanne Gudakunst DO. My guess is she either has a PhD in liberal arts, or she is a naturopath. The latter I tend to think are good and valid physicians, but there are a smattering of them engaged in this kind of marketing and they do identify themselves as Dr., which they can by law, since they are Doctors of Naturopathy.

Not sure how someone sleeps at night, doing what she’s doing, but I wouldn’t want to be the owner of that karmic account.

By the way, the author of this blog…nice physique! I know how much hard work, nutrition, etc., went into that body! Keep it up!

Just as an FYI, I recently noted some dead links in the post, as the original pages were updated/changed. These have now been fixed.

No probs.

I’m sure it’s okay to say though, that over on scam.com on this thread about Dr. Suzie – http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=33625 – if you look at Post #21 by WhiteHat, you might find the link that was removed from my post?

Just as well.

I wouldn’t want anyone trying to kill me for divulging that information.
