This video reports on the fact that anyone searching for Gumitide gummies reviews should know it’s all a scam. Jillian Michaels never backed Gumitide gummies or any “gelatin trick” recipe for weight loss, and no “gelatin trick” or “gelatin trick recipe” exists for weight loss or the activation of GLP-1 and GIP.
My name is Jordan Liles. I am a senior reporter with Snopes.com by day. I come here to my YouTube channel on nights and weekends to help consumers stay away from scams. In my investigation, I found that scammers marketed Gumitide gummies in social media ads leading to fake “Today” show websites with lengthy videos featuring “Hoda & Jenna” and Jillian Michaels. The ads made it falsely appear that Michaels endorsed a special recipe, including with deepfake AI depictions of Hoda Kotb, Jenna Bush Hager and Serena Williams. No doctors, hospitals, universities, or famous people ever endorsed Gumitide gummies or a “gelatin trick” for weight loss, and the “Today” show never reported on the subject.
The scammers’ lengthy video presentation featured a classic scam tactic whereby the video presents a special recipe but only ends up offering a bottle of supplements. No “gelatin trick” exists for weight loss. Also, Gumitide “weight management support” gummies have zero legitimacy.
In the past, I’ve found similar scams might hide subscription charges of hundreds of dollars per month. Also, some money-back guarantees might not be honored. Surprise, surprise.
Anyone victimized by this scam should contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) via . File a report. Include as many details as possible.

“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.”
