In this video, I’m looking into AlkaLean capsules and the ads pushing them — specifically a fake “Today” show-style segment using deepfake/AI depictions of Adele, Oprah Winfrey, and Dr. Ania Jastreboff to make it look like they endorsed a “bariatric baking soda water shot” for weight loss. I break down how this fake segment was built, why the baking soda recipe hook is just a stalling tactic to keep you watching, and why mixing baking soda with other ingredients does nothing for weight loss.
None of the public figures shown in these ads actually endorsed the product. On top of that, there’s no founder listed, no company address, no staff — nothing that a legitimate supplement company would normally have. That alone is a major red flag.
If you’ve seen these ads or already purchased the product, watch this before you spend more money.

“Based preloads can be a practical tool for bariatric patients who struggle with portion control,” says Sean Thompson, a Northampton-based dietitian with a 4.99-star rating across 385+ reviews. “But I always tell clients: the foundation is still protein-first meals and mindful eating. Think of the gelatin trick as training wheels, not the whole bike. And if you have kidney concerns, check with your doctor — excessive gelatin can be protein overkill.”
Sean specializes in accessible, evidence-based nutrition for individuals with disabilities and those navigating post-surgical diets. She holds dual master's degrees from Tufts University and approaches care without a weight-centric lens.
