Is Steven Guntry indorsing Iron Boost?
Executive summary
Available reporting shows no evidence that Dr. Steven Gundry endorses a product called Iron Boost; instead, at least one outlet says a deepfake falsely attributed an endorsement to him for a different supplement (Memory Lift) and Gundry’s publicly promoted products are sold under his Gundry MD brand [1] [2]. Gundry MD continues to market and win awards for its own supplements and retail placements, but the search results do not mention any legitimate Gundry endorsement of “Iron Boost” specifically [2] [3] [4].
1. Who Steven Gundry is — and what he actually endorses
Dr. Steven Gundry is a cardiothoracic surgeon turned nutrition entrepreneur who founded Gundry MD and has promoted multiple supplements and programs under that brand, including Energy Renew and a Total Body Transformation course; Gundry MD materials and press releases repeatedly tie products to his name and research [5] [6] [7]. Gundry MD also touts retail launches and awards for its own products — for example, Gundry MD’s Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil won a Nourish Award and the brand made a retail debut at The Vitamin Shoppe [2] [3].
2. Claims of fake or misattributed endorsements — an example in the record
Independent reporting flagged an explicit case where a marketing campaign used a deepfake of Dr. Steven Gundry to imply his support for a supplement called Memory Lift; that article states “Dr. Gundry has never endorsed this product” and labels the overall Memory Lift campaign a scam built around fake doctors, AI-generated audio, and false Ivy League claims [1]. That example shows there is precedent in the current reporting for Gundry’s image and voice being misused in supplement marketing [1].
3. Is there any sourced confirmation that Gundry endorses “Iron Boost”?
Available sources in the provided search results do not mention a product named “Iron Boost” or document any Gundry endorsement of it; the materials instead document Gundry MD products and promotions [2] [5] [6]. Because the provided reporting does not cover an “Iron Boost” endorsement, we cannot say he endorses it — nor can we assert outright that he hasn’t — without additional, specific sourcing (not found in current reporting).
4. Two possible explanations consistent with the sources
First, a legitimate endorsement: Gundry frequently brands and promotes supplements through Gundry MD, so if “Iron Boost” were an official Gundry MD product or partnered product there would likely be press or product pages linking it to Gundry [5] [4]. Second, misuse or deception: the documented Memory Lift case shows marketers have used deepfakes and false claims to create fake Gundry endorsements in the wild, so an appearance of a Gundry endorsement for a third-party supplement could be fabricated [1].
5. How to evaluate any specific “Iron Boost” claim going forward
Ask whether the claim appears on Gundry MD’s official channels (product pages, press releases) or only in third-party ads; Gundry MD press releases and product announcements are well-documented in the record and usually reference specific products and retail deals [5] [3]. If an ad shows Gundry’s voice or likeness, compare it to official Gundry MD statements and watch for hallmarks of deepfakes or unverifiable “Harvard/Ivy” claims as seen in the Memory Lift reporting [1].
6. What to do if you encounter an ad claiming Gundry’s endorsement
Check Gundry MD’s official site or press pages and look for the exact product name; Gundry MD explicitly states where its products and programs originate, and corporate press often accompanies major releases [4] [5]. If you suspect a deepfake or scam, the Memory Lift exposé provides an example to reference when questioning the ad’s authenticity [1].
Limitations and bottom line: the provided reporting documents Gundry MD’s own product endorsements and at least one documented fake endorsement case (Memory Lift), but none of the supplied sources mention “Iron Boost.” Therefore, available sources do not mention a legitimate Steven Gundry endorsement of Iron Boost — and they show that false attributions have occurred in this sector [1] [5].
