Okay, I’m coming in hot for the kickoff of season three with a classic loving bitch slap. Because lately, I’ve been having way too many “hmm” moments when it comes to the wellness industry, and I cannot keep my mouth shut anymore.
We’re talking about the stuff that sounds smart, looks science-y, and somehow still manages to completely miss the point. Like my friend who ditched his program but decided hitting 160 grams of protein was the hill to die on. Or the idea that women shouldn’t run after 50 because… cortisol? Or my personal favourite, the vague, fear-based promise that you need to “eat for your hormones” or everything will fall apart.
So I break it all down. What actually matters for fat loss. Why protein is not your magic bullet. Why movement you enjoy beats whatever the internet is currently shaming women for doing. And most importantly, how this whole cycle works.
Because once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Step one, catch women at a vulnerable moment. Step two, tell them they’re doing it wrong. Step three, throw in some science-y words. Step four, sell them a complicated solution.
That’s the scam.
And the truth is way less sexy. It’s boring. It’s simple. And it works.
Move your body. Eat like an adult. Sleep. Manage your stress. Repeat.
I know. No supplement code. No detox tea. Sorry.
What’s Inside:
Here’s what I want you to take away from this. If something makes you feel anxious, behind, or like you’re doing everything wrong, and then conveniently offers a solution… your bullshit detector should be going off.
Because the fundamentals? They’re free. And they work.
So here’s my question for you. What’s one piece of wellness advice you’ve believed that now makes you go “hmm”?
DM me on Instagram and tell me. I genuinely want to know what you’re unlearning.
