Justifying Pandemic Weight Gain Is Sneaky...Is It Poison Punch?
Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Oh, and while we’re here to give you the answers google won’t, self-worth is sold separately, and happiness not included. Poison punch. It’s toxic. It’s everywhere. And it’s making us all sick. It’s the diets, the weight loss teas and programs, workouts, and superfood powders that say they’re selling health. Or the supplements, creams, prescriptions, makeups, treatments, and procedures that promise to make you look younger and yield you unconditional love. And it’s all the apps, pop-ups, fads, people, retreats, and goop that cost a fortune but guarantee a better version of you. Poison punch is the 70+ billion dollar industry that profits off you looking in the mirror and thinking, “I’m fat, old, tired, and ugly”. Poison punch is everything you're being told and sold to fix problems that (spoiler alert!) don’t actually exist. There’s no way in hell the diet and beauty industries are going anywhere. Poison punch is here to stay. And while we might not be able to rid the world of poison punch, we can change our relationship to it. Join hosts Kelly Roberts and Kayla Reynolds M.S. every week as they figure out what’s poison punch, what punch has traces of poison in it, and what’s actually true. During last week’s episode, we're breaking down why, though well-meaning, justifying WHY anyone who gained weight or experienced changes to their bodies during the pandemic is rooted in poison punch. Put your curiosity goggles on and get ready to ditch diet culture!
