This video exposes the fact no “baking soda water shot” recipe for weight loss, diabetes or any other ailment exists, including no special ingredients revealed by Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Ania Jastreboff or other famous people.
In April 2026, online scammers marketed a product called Lean Peak with miracle weight loss promises involving a baking soda recipe, Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Ania Jastreboff. This YouTube video labels the marketing as a scam. The scammers’ marketing featured deepfake AI depictions of Winfrey and Jastreboff. To be clear, no doctors, hospitals, universities, or famous people—including Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Mehmet Oz or Dr. Phil McGraw—ever endorsed or had anything to do with reviewing ingredients for a baking soda recipe for weight loss—or Lean Peak, Burn Gummy, Jelly Burn or other products.
The Lean Peak website video alleged Winfrey discovered a “simple morning ritual” or a “baking soda water shot,” specifically referencing a Yale-trained obesity specialist. The video featured manipulated lip movements and AI-generated audio to make it appear as though Winfrey and Dr. Ania Jastreboff testified to miracle weight loss by reactivating hormones like GLP-1 and GIP. Scammers often use these AI-generated visuals to target people seeking medical help, claiming the protocol can beat medications that Big Pharma charges thousands for.
This YouTube video highlights how Winfrey and Jastreboff never endorsed Lean Peak—nor provided reviews for the product—nor is there any legitimate evidence that a baking soda recipe can do anything particularly special.
Brazilian scammers sometimes operate funnels similar to that of Lean Peak and the baking soda recipe lie. Those scammers cycle through product names to keep search engines’ results fresh. Consumers who fall for this ruse may find it impossible to locate any supposed parent company, as all information about the founders and bottling facilities is nonexistent. If you have already ordered this product, you should contact your credit card company immediately to report fraud and attempt to secure a refund.
Do not trust online reviews or marketing for Lean Peak or other weight loss miracle supplements found on social media. The people behind these videos do not care about your health; they are only interested in extracting money from those in need of real medical attention. Always seek advice from a real medical professional instead.
In sum, no baking soda recipe for weight loss exists. Do not buy Lean Peak, Burn Slim, Jelly Burn or any other absolute garbage product. Go and see a doctor! Like, comment, and subscribe. Thank you for watching.#scamalert

“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.
