Through The Looking Glass Of The Cult Of Wellness (Part One)
Hello girls and gays, the time has finally arrived! Joan and Matt spend the next two weeks deconstructing and dissecting the incredibly shady, unsubstantiated, manipulative, expensive, and exploitative vitamin and ‘wellness’ industry so prolific on social media sites, specifically Instagram. We start with the controversial Sugar Bear Hair Care supplement, that was the center of last month’s James and Tati YouTube drama, then move on to the various like-scams the populate so many influencer feeds, including but not limited to: online-survey based home-delivery supplements, Alex Jone’s ‘DNA Force’ pills, vitamin-infused vodka, vitamin-c mega-doses, appetite suppressant lollipops, ‘wellness’ vapes, and IV drip ‘bars’. Stay tuned for part two coming out next week, where we pivot into the real-world effects of these irresponsible companies, explaining how they propagate the myth of ‘endless illness’ in women, to trick millions into buying bogus products and spread misinformation.

Through The Looking Glass Of The Cult Of Wellness (Part Two)
Get ready for the final part in our vitamin/Instagram diet/GOOP deep dive! We quickly summarize where we ended last week’s show, continuing on debunking the myths regarding detoxing, cleansing, and single-use health aids. We then deconstruct how the effects of the weight-loss supplement industry cause real pain and suffering in the communities their targeting—ending on GOOP and thereby Gwyneth Paltrow’s crusade to spread misinformation and exploit the American public for millions. From vagina-inserted jade eggs to $125 creams and serums, peloton workout routines and ‘medical mediums’, the void from which we investigate becomes ever greater and consumes us into a downward spiral of mania and helplessness—come join us!
