Share your story

Fell for a Doc Bro pitch? DTMB would like to tell your story, independent research with wry humor, with your words in the mix.

Why share
Dr. Trust Me Bro (DTMB) is an independent journalist and researcher who uses wry humor to present evidence-backed reporting on health influencers (“Doc Bros”). We quote their own public claims, official videos, posts, and websites, timestamp the lines, and cross-check them against peer-reviewed literature. The humor is deliberate: memorable copy helps readers spot unscrupulous pitches before they buy the protocol. Your story catches what the funnel felt like on the receiving end.
What to send
  • Who the Doc Bro was and roughly when it happened.
  • What tactics landed, fear labs, disclaimers followed by dosing advice, etc.
  • What you bought or almost bought, and what you wish you had known sooner.
  • How payment and coverage were framed: were you told to swipe an FSA/HSA card, handed a superbill to submit yourself, or told insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid would not cover it? See the FSA/HSA loophole.
  • Optional: public links, or attach a file with redacted receipts, screenshots, or notes from visits.
  • How you want to be credited, full name, first name only, or anonymous.
