To be honest, I think it fits in this video because the "p" in Goop has to stand for pseudoscience, and we do pronoun the "p" in Goop! Also, don't worry about it! We know what you mean, and that is more important. 💜
What really sucks as well is professionals in the real wellness industry - licensed massage therapists, certified health coaches, etc, have even more difficulty doing our jobs because people fall for this crap…. It’s infuriating.
It also makes it way harder for a consumer to figure out what is actually real and proven and what's complete bullshit. I have researched these things multiple times and I still have no idea whether hypnosis and acupuncture work. there's so many sources and I just have massive issues trusting any of them
Literally just left a similar comment! We deal with this constantly as people say, "I've tried it, but it didn't work" when what they actually tried was a supermarket product with subclinical doses of low quality herbs or nutrients in them! (Naturopath from Australia here) A great example is magnesium! So many people say they tried it, and it just upset their tummy when they take magnesium oxide, which doesn't absorb at all and just cleans your guts :p
@@killitwithfire5377 I think you have to analize it case by case. And try if it works for you. You can only trust yourself. I almost died in hands of people with diplomas, so... I just don´t trust anyone.
I like to think there’s an alternate timeline somewhere out there where Gwyneth Paltrow is totally normal, and not tormenting everyone with vagina eggs & candles😩
It's sad that these products are targeted at women partly because we are so often gaslit and ignored by doctors. Women suffering from weak pelvic floor, painful periods etc get desperate
So true!!! Demand physical therapy for your hips or pelvic floor, and if your doc won’t listen or you can’t afford, there’s plenty of videos and descriptions online for what you can do. Will it solve it overnight? No. If it sounds too good to be true 👀 you do have to commit to helping your body and unfortunately we’re all so desperate we still try quick fixes instead of long term lifestyle changes
Yeah there was some footage from like a goop retreat. Seemed like all of The participants were women that had had big troubles with their health and getting proper care and getting better. So now they were pouring all they had into goop. I don't get why everybody seems to be so light hearted about goop. It's a really heartless and cruel money grab.
I hate to be that person, but it should be "we are so often gaslighted....". But if I can also make you feel better, I've heard doctors use 'gaslit' incorrectly, so there's that. 😂
@@annehedonia156I'm all for helpful grammar corrections in the comments, but "gaslit" feels better saying it/hearing it? However, I am a cockney and we shorten everything so.... 😂
They target women because we are treated like we are crazy when we go to a doctor and tell them we are in pain. It’s all in our head. Then we are willing to try anything to help with the untreated pain.
And woman's body's have historically not been used in studies or experiments. But also I'd say that men do get pseudoscience medicine advertised to them too but just in a different way and environment, mostly to get muscles or treat hair loss, ect. Think of like Alex Jones and his supplements or whatever.
You should NEVER dissolve crystals into water and expose yourself to it, or put in bath water, etc. A lot of crystals contain various metals and minerals that, despite giving different stones their beautiful luster, can be toxic to us.
@@patrycjarasthe only trouble is a lot of these companies, if you actually have the crystals taken out and independently tested, don't turn out to be what they claim them to be, since they aren't really FDA regulated, so even if you think you're buying something with ingredients you think are safe, could be something completely different
@@chibiyumeusa ...And, how could I forget that one? Lol. Also, even for substances that our bodies use, you can still throw off the balance of organic compounds on or in the body because you have no idea of the levels of these substances in the crystals to begin with.
@@patrycjaras also, some crystals are artificially treated to make their colors or appearance different. So, unless you're a geologist, I wouldn't chance it.
Stuff like the vampire repellant always reminds of being a kid doing "experiments" in the kitchen by very seriously mixing random stuff like oregano and baking soda into a mug or something
So it wasn’t only me😂 I mixed things from bathroom. Shampoo n powder mix in barbies hair then a trim...oooops not even..another trim..shit...it’s a boob🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️😂
I was given one of her jade eggs as a ‘present’ from a client, Ms. V, before I stopped working. She was the best & often bought me weird expensive things. I can’t recommend it as I didn’t use it for its intended purpose. However, whenever my feet hurt I’d sit down, put it under my foot & roll it around. It felt amazing! I miss you V & I know you’re giving God weird ass stuff too.
Also, you can get these eggs in any crystal you like for about I wanna say... £10-20? From Crystal shops. And you can also get v. Hygienic kegel eggs from mostly high end sex shops on or offline.
Good gods, what a load of bs to sell. And how dangerous. Having a chronic depression myself, I'm very worried about people like me seeing products like that spray and ditch everything else, hoping for a miracle. Cos that's how desperate one can get. Very disturbing.
I know people with anxiety and depression who've tried "natural remedies" like these, and they have set them back enormously. Somehow, I think they think that taking prescription meds for a "mental illness" is a stigma.
Agree wholeheartedly. It's a similar damaging narrative that religion can sometimes offer. "You're not really sick you just need to pray more". Or even these lifestyle coaches, "you're not a bad person, you just need to buy my subscription and I'll tell you why you don't need to change any of your disturbing lifestyle habits whatsoever"
I believe certain scents can be soothing and calming . I do not believe they're healing though. I suffer from depression and try to find things that make me feel good and help with it. I'm not against medication but I do hate taking it and I suck at keeping up with it
gweneth is going about this all wrong. i don't want vampire repellant, i want something to attract all the vampires to my location so i can have a vampy meet-cute.
Fun fact! The FDA reprimanded a bakery in Massachusetts for having "love" on the ingredients list for their granola in a warning letter from 2017. "Additionally, during the inspection our investigators obtained the labels that your firm uses for your Nashoba Granola product. We have reviewed your labels and identified violations of the food labeling regulations, 21 CFR Part 101, which causes the products discussed below to be misbranded within the meaning of Section 403 of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343]." The bakery did have other glaring health and safety issues and code violations, but the "mislabeling" part really blew up in the news because of how petty and almost satirical it seemed. So no, the FDA does NOT recognize love as an ingredient, at least not for food. If they were selling this as a "supplement" and not a medicine or beauty product then they could technically be sold without FDA approval (which I think is really stupid and I've seen a lot of "holistic wellness" and "new age medicine" brands use this loophole to skirt around rules).
willing to bet that's an fda employee putting in an extra violation for funsies at 4pm on a friday and then experiencing the most regret humanly possible at 9am on monday
if Gwenyth Paltrow hadn't been so rich and come from such a powerful family, this wacky business of hers that literally insults people's intelligence would have been shut down a long time ago. Only the rich and powerful get away with shenanigins ..
I’m a bit concerned about the crystal water spray….. Wtf happens if you get that spray IN YOUR EYES?! Crushed, microscopic, crystal shards…. In your EYE. Think about that…. That can’t be safe, can it?? The thought gives me anxiety… 😬 Edit: Also- I think crystal healing works in a placebo way. I find crystals pretty, and I’ve learned that colors affect my mood. So in a sense, they do work- just in a sensory way.
Yeah I love crystals and minerals for like, magpie-brain reasons. A smooth rock in my pocket is soothing for sensory reasons, not because the spiritual energies of the rocks.
I think crystal infused just means that the liquids have been hanging out with the rocks for a while, like having crystals soaking in the water before bottling it.
Im confused if the sensory statement was supposed to be an elaboration or not 💀 But yeah it is proven that crystal healing IS a placebo effect- in certain cases, the crystals can actually be detrimental to your health due to storage conditions and properties of the stone, but the placebo effect makes you notice positive changes , because you believe it works and your brain wants to make ends meet. It should also be noted that placebo effects can still work even when you are aware that its a placebo efffect! The effect is just lessened by a ton lol
I’m not a crystal girly but I’ve heard tigers eye (which is listed in the ingredients) sometimes contains asbestos. So if they are grinding it up how would they be positive you’re not being exposed to asbestos ? It even says online that problems may arise if you’re grinding them up
Every time I see her in my feed I think “what did she do now.” Even my husband, who’s not a skincare girlie, knows better. He refers to proper sunscreen application as “not the Gwyneth method.”
Omg the psychic vampire description is killing me 😂 if you relate to people sucking your energy it’s time to set some boundaries, don’t waste your money
I think Gwyneth IS an energy vampire. Because every time she starts talking I feel my life force draining away. I’d never use vampire repellent because you never know when you’ll run into a Jackie Daytona regular human bartender who is a genuine good “guy”. I’d hate to repel that kind of vampire!
y'know, every time I hear about Gwyneth I just feel sorry for her character of Pepper Potts, like, Pepper absolutely would despise her, completely disappointing
There’s a My Strange Addiction episode where the girl is addicted to coffee enemas and her fiancé says he won’t marry her if she doesn’t stop then it cuts to like 6 months later and now they are married and both doing the enemas.
All I can think about is the My Strange Addiction episode where a couple was addicted to coffee enemas . Also that little look after the "mushrooms are illegal" cracked me up
Also factor in many crystals dissolve when wet often becoming toxic, the polish used may not be safe to use in this manner, many rocks and gemstones are naturally radioactive which while safe to have in your house it's pretty risky for it going inside of you, etc
It’s like people that use random household items to masturbate 😭 like, I get it 40 years ago when it was less common to have a sex toy shop in your town, but it’s 2023. At this point there is no excuse, just buy a real, safe sex toy online!!! 😭
They don't crush up crystals, they will just put the crystals in the water for a certain amount of time and believe that the water 'aligns' itself or takes on the properties of the crystal. I had a friend who went to an alternative therapies school and they even believed in putting water in different coloured glass containers and setting it in the sun and the water took on the qualities of the colour to help cleanse auras. Now if the energy spray had used some essential oils and you chucked in a few crystal chips, I'd try it (more likely tried making it, not paying £40 for it!), like I do modern Pagan witch craft and we use crystals to help enhance rituals and spells, but I do spells to help someone find positivity in challenging situations, to encourage self love, to inspire change, not cure someone's depression. It's places like Goop that give us a bad name. Drives me crazy.
your content is one of the best things helping me through this very tough breakup - i'm refraining from listening to music to not ruin any songs for me, and listening to your videos has been so nice. thank you.
As someone who used to be woo woo about crystal energy (mostly just dumb stuff like putting a citrine under my pillow for pleasant dreams), i think the idea is that the energy of the crystals gets "infused" into the water and the water is able to be used on your skin if you don't want to use the crystal directly somehow (like, say, a yoni egg). But i feel it is important to note that not all crystals are safe to do this with, namely ones like malachite and other crystals that have a greenish/bluish color because of the copper ore nearby that oxidizes and lends its color. Raw copper is toxic and can easily leech into the water, and give you mild copper poisoning. Don't put it in tea, your bath, an aquarium, anything. Same goes for stuff like sulfur crystals or selenite. Selenite is SOOO common and you should not make any recipes with it that you plan to ingest or bath in or use topically. Quartz is usually safe so rose quartz and amethyst and citrine (different quartz color variations) but i must warn that treated quartz such as the aura quartz has been coated with some sort of thin reflective metal coating and is probably not safe either. I would also not use polished rocks as many are coated with a lacquer afterwards to preserve their shine and who knows what's in that!!! Ultimately crystals are nice to look at, but don't have any practical uses.
Yeah, there's a lot of rocks and minerals and metals that you can't just toss into water, or that you even want to wash your hands after handling. Basic chemistry is important if you're going be involving these things with the human body.
Agreed. That's why, as I noted above, I have VERY few trusted stone sellers whose product I use in settings. And if I have to do any modification on any malachite, I have a respirator I wear. I think there might be arsenic in it too.
I love your facial expressions during this video!! Gwyneth Paltrow is like a traveling salesperson selling snake oil. The only difference is she truly believes these products work and uses them every day herself!!
As far as the “wellness industry” targeting men, perhaps things are different in the UK, but in the US, there are “Men’s” clinics popping up on every corner like Starbucks. They tell mostly middle aged men that low testosterone is to blame for everything from their impotence to their fatigue and depression. They give them injections of testosterone instead of addressing the causes of their low levels, diabetes, poor diet, lack of exercise, morbid obesity. They lie to them about the risk and benefits of testosterone supplementation. Research has failed to show significant improvement in mood, energy levels and even sexual performance in middle aged men given testosterone supplementation. Also they are at increased risk of prostate cancer, liver cancer, heart attacks and strokes. Then there is the testicular tanning devices that Tucker Carlson did an undisclosed ad for on Faux News before he was fired. What a great way to waste money and get melanoma in a place where you’ll never notice it.
@@esmeraldagreengate4354 I didn’t watch everything, but supposedly it increases testosterone levels and is the cure for beta men so they can be alpha men. A bunch of BS basically, from whiny idiots that are afraid of things like women who can think for themselves.
As someone who is currently struggling with depression and has done for years, I can sadly say, multiple people have said " have you tried having a nice, smelly bath?"😂😂
Dude. (and I mean that in an exclamatory sense.) I have a (now adult) developmentally disabled autistic daughter. NO SHE IS NOT SOME HOOPTY MAGICAL INDIGO CHILD. And the only reason she functions as well as she does in a group home setting is thanks to decades of work on our part, on her therapists' parts, on her teachers' parts, nothing to do with aliens or higher frequency souls, no she doesn't just need a good spankin', no she doesn't need your herbal wtf in her diet, or sageing her bedroom, or whatever. (yes we had her on the gf/cf diet. It did actually help, as she had awful sleep disturbances made worse by those two things in her diet. She's grown out of that now in her 20's and does fine on a conventional diet.)
Yup. I've been told many times that the Zoloft I take is "toxic". Yeah, not nearly as toxic as the thoughts that had me contemplating driving my car off a bridge during my commute. And when my kids, who are both autistic, were young, we were told a number of times to force feed them charcoal to get rid of the metals in their system. Yeah, no.
A lot of crystals will leach dangerous minerals and the like when they're left in water, which is why the idea of drinking crystal infused water can be so dangerous. I hate to imagine what could be coming out of those crystal eggs
I think the “revers osmosis water” is a typo of reverse osmosis water. Reverse osmosis is a process of taking salt water and then pushing it through a molecular sieve that only lets H2O through, leaving behind NaCl and other solutes.
As a qualified Naturopath (Bachelor of health science in Australia) I just want to say that not only is the "wellness industry" very different from genuine Naturopathic/Herbal/Nutritional medicine but that the false claims and bs frustrate us just as much, if not more! The way professional Herbalists and Naturopaths use herbs gets appropriated into skincare with marketing concentrations and not efficacy concentrations all the time!
Lolol when I taught high school science, we started each course learning about scientific method and how to identify pseudoscience. I always used Goop as an example, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed analyzing the misleading language and laughing at the (school friendly) products. We had great class discussions about why scientific literacy matters, emphasizing the financial, political, medical and social consequences of pseudoscience. I also had them distinguish between what criteria pushed pseudoscience from harmless fun to dangerous scams. I miss those days 😭
Your tiny stifled giggles are the best part of this video 😂 and I'm so tired of this pseudo science health and wellness BS that makes ppl doubt literal scientists and doctors 😓 its so dangerous
I think part of why so many of these things are targeted at women, is because women frequently face issues being believed, or treated by doctors. There’s lots of studies out there showing that many women feel that their pain is dismissed by doctors (more than half according to one UK study), and even for doctors that mean well, a lot of the knowledge and research in many disease areas were exclusively done in men for decades. It’s easier to target a population with pseudoscience, when there already distrust of doctors and the healthcare system.
@@lilyflower5576 oh I never said I'm not open to it, I'm open to almost anything. If I had to sniff essential oils every few minutes for the rest of my life in order to not deal with depression, I'd do it 10000000%. It's total BS tho, but id still try it 😂🤷♀️
People (college students mostly) doing alcohol enemas have died because it bypasses the stomach and liver and makes the absorption greater than drinking it. Maybe the caffeine in coffee works the same way????
For anyone who needs to know, toxins are a thing but they are naturally evacuated by your body. Toxins are essentialy substances produced by animals, a plants, most of the time microorganisms that are toxic to humans. The thing these welness brands omit is that the body is made to deal with toxins. We have enzymes that break down harmful molecules into harmless ones, we urinate, we sweat, etc. These brands take a scientific term, then twist it and add things to it, making it a pseudoscience BUT THEY STATE ALL OF IT AS IF ITS BEEN PROVEN!!! They are fully aware that what they say isn't scientific but they use words like "holistic" and "toxins to trick people. If you want to pay for a crystals, thats great but you shouldn't be buying it because you have been manipulated into thinking it has scientific backing when it doesn't.
I have tried to explain to many people that you have a liver and kidney to remove toxins, if those aren't working, you need a doctor, not essential oils.
I can’t take GP I met her years ago thru and ulta event and all I remember is she was wearing a stunning white Gucci dress and there was bronzer or tanner along the collar. It was heinous. But srsly she’s not to be trusted.
I recently saw an interview (or podcast) she did with some “nutritionist/healthy lifestyle” (?) person. She was sitting there, in the studio… with an IV IN HER VEIN. When the other person asked about that…. she talked about FREQUENTLY getting IV “nutrition and hydration…” because she’s often “exhausted from travel and work.” (Not exactly her words, but it’s the gist of it.) As a nurse with 30+ years experience… only people with serious medical issues or people in “emergency situations” should use IVs. If an otherwise “healthy”!person thinks they (frequently) need IVs to deal with “life”, then I suggest they may want to have a look at their diet and lifestyle and make some changes.
Why were colonic irrigations so popular in the 2000's?! I had one as a teenager when my family were desperately trying to find something to make me feel better (turns out it was a chronic immune system problem and washing your intestines wont help that) it was an unusual experience to say the least
As someone who used to suffer from chronic constipation/lack of bowel movements (laxatives wouldn’t work for me), colonic hydrotherapy would clear me out and get all the buildup stuff and gas out. I used to get them monthly for a year and a half. Now if I ever get backed up like I used to be, I’ll get it done.
@@WillSing4TP They were also a thing in the 1980's. I lived in SoCal then, worked at a pizza place in Laguna Beach, used to go to the Psychic Fairs for fun and entertainment.
James, I am SO grateful for your video. Your perspective and levity is welcome when the Goop claims infuriate me. So many of these products are absolutely insulting, and absolutely ridiculous, and I have no respect for Gwyneth and Goop (and others like them) who are today’s version of “snake oil salesmen”, and apparently have no regard for human beings, nor true accountability for their choices in product development and marketing. Love your content!
Thanks for this video James! I think a lot of women look for ways to manage their health outside the regular medical system because they’ve been overlooked or mistreated by medical professionals in the past. Unfortunately, people like GP prey on them. As someone who has had to take my health into my own hands more than once, I empathize with these women. But really GP is a monster and her website is like a satire to me. Thanks for exposing her predatory behavior again and again! 💜🖤💜🖤
You brought up such a good point about how disproportionately these things are targeted at women to "fix" them. I wonder how much of this might overlap with how much less medicinal research (both historically and now) focuses on women and women-specific problems.
As far as Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop is concerned, wasn't it P. T. Barnum the famous circus showman who coined the truism, " there's a sucker born every minute"?
14:47 On that point, I believe that Joe Rogan is definitely Goop for men. Replace beauty and wellness with muscle and manliness, and you have enough supplements and "Alpha Brain" to sell to unsuspecting customers.
Someone tell Gwyneth I actually do have something that might cure some of her shame spirals. It’s called not scamming people, she should try it sometime
I love this kind of videos! Thank you so much for taking time and A LOT of mental energy to inform and entertain us, I really appreciate how you bring specialists and are so sensible talking about all issues (when it comes to women, for example, you always speak with respect showing your opinion while knowing you can't know it as a woman) ❤
There used to be a shop that did colonics down the road from me, they also sold water filters for your taps and water bubblers. It always gave me the ick! It burnt down a few years ago.
I added a powdered flavored drink mix in mine. As long as it doesn’t have red coloring in it, it makes it a bit better. Not that anything will make it “ Delicious”. But more tolerable.
This! I have an annual colonoscopy for polyps (about to have my 7th...) and man let me tell you, it gets worse every time.The prep starts off ok but gets worse with each sip 🤢
As far as the egg goes, I have long term pelvic floor dysfunction caused by keeping my of muscles tensed all the time. It can really mess with many parts of your body.
The name [of amethyst] is Greek for "sober." Now, this makes sense once you hear the story of Bacchus. He was the Roman god of wine and revelry. One day, he was in a foul mood and set his tigers on the next person to cross his path. This unlucky person happened to be a maiden named Amethyst who was on her way to the Goddess Diana's temple. Diana turned her into a pillar of quartz to stop the tiger attack. Bacchus was so remorseful; he poured wine over the pillar as an apology and stained the pillar purple. As a result, the stone was believed to have the power to stave off drunkenness. In fact, the ancient Greeks and Romans would carve drinking goblets from the violet quartz rather than wear them as amethyst and diamond rings, in an attempt to remain sober as they drank their wine.
You changed your light. Again! And it is stunning! And I love the background as well. By the way, you are a massive inspiration for me. I hope one day to have a UA-cam channel just as respected and grand as yours! Love to you and all your followers 🫶
As a woo woo pagan girlie, I HATE Goop. She reminds me of those medieval people who would sell you spaces in heaven lol 😂 using spiritual beliefs of others to manipulate them and as a cash grab.
I've always thought Gwyneth Paltrow was weird this just confirms it.These products are mind of body,use the products and you convince yourself it works

A lot of this can be tied back to placebo effects- in certain cases, the crystals and 'supplements' used in holistic healing and rituals can actually be detrimental to your health. Soemtimes for less obvious reasons, like reactions in certain storage conditions and reactive properties of the stones/ingredients. Despite the known risk and possible harm being done, the placebo effect makes you notice positive changes , because if you believe it works, your brain wants to make ends meet. It should also be noted that placebo effects can still work even when you are aware that its a placebo efffect! The effect is just lessened by a ton lol

@JamesWelsh hell to the no! In Australia they use a strong sedative that means you aren't aware during the procedure and forget it all after. No way I want to watch 😱
Kegals are still great to help keep your pelvic floor, but mostly so you don’t wet yourself when you are older. I heard there are also situations where people could have vaginal prolapse and that kegals can prevent that? But yoni eggs are not needed to do those exercises
Yes. Ive especially heard that doctors/nurses will recommend kegel/pelvic floor exercises to women after they have children to help prevent pelvic floor dysfunction later in life
I still pronounce the ‘P’ in pseudoscience 🥲
Aw, I was just gonna leave a kind, gentle comment letting you know it's pronounced "sudo," but if you already know I feel mean.

I was given one of her jade eggs as a ‘present’ from a client, Ms. V, before I stopped working. She was the best & often bought me weird expensive things. I can’t recommend it as I didn’t use it for its intended purpose. However, whenever my feet hurt I’d sit down, put it under my foot & roll it around. It felt amazing! I miss you V & I know you’re giving God weird ass stuff too.
Okay well now I need to either a) find a lady to buy me weird expensive gifts or b) be the lady giving weird expensive gifts.
Well it’s good you found some use of it
Priorities girl, I'm with you! 😂
Also, you can get these eggs in any crystal you like for about I wanna say... £10-20? From Crystal shops. And you can also get v. Hygienic kegel eggs from mostly high end sex shops on or offline.
This was adorable and wholesome lmao
Good gods, what a load of bs to sell. And how dangerous. Having a chronic depression myself, I'm very worried about people like me seeing products like that spray and ditch everything else, hoping for a miracle. Cos that's how desperate one can get. Very disturbing.
Agreed. I whole heartedly believe that the wellness industry is so predatory
I know people with anxiety and depression who've tried "natural remedies" like these, and they have set them back enormously. Somehow, I think they think that taking prescription meds for a "mental illness" is a stigma.
Agree wholeheartedly. It's a similar damaging narrative that religion can sometimes offer. "You're not really sick you just need to pray more". Or even these lifestyle coaches, "you're not a bad person, you just need to buy my subscription and I'll tell you why you don't need to change any of your disturbing lifestyle habits whatsoever"
I believe certain scents can be soothing and calming . I do not believe they're healing though. I suffer from depression and try to find things that make me feel good and help with it. I'm not against medication but I do hate taking it and I suck at keeping up with it
Hi fellow chronic depression survivor! Hope you're hanging in there.
gweneth is going about this all wrong. i don't want vampire repellant, i want something to attract all the vampires to my location so i can have a vampy meet-cute.
😂❤❤❤😂
its not even for real vampires, its not supposed to ward off narcissist instead of supporting people in cutting that sorta people out of their lives
😂😂😂😂
If Gwyneth has a spray that can help me meet the guy who plays the new Lestat, I'm down.
I knew I’d find my people here lol
Fun fact! The FDA reprimanded a bakery in Massachusetts for having "love" on the ingredients list for their granola in a warning letter from 2017.
"Additionally, during the inspection our investigators obtained the labels that your firm uses for your Nashoba Granola product. We have reviewed your labels and identified violations of the food labeling regulations, 21 CFR Part 101, which causes the products discussed below to be misbranded within the meaning of Section 403 of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343]."
The bakery did have other glaring health and safety issues and code violations, but the "mislabeling" part really blew up in the news because of how petty and almost satirical it seemed.
So no, the FDA does NOT recognize love as an ingredient, at least not for food. If they were selling this as a "supplement" and not a medicine or beauty product then they could technically be sold without FDA approval (which I think is really stupid and I've seen a lot of "holistic wellness" and "new age medicine" brands use this loophole to skirt around rules).
Omg amazing 😂😂
Oh my god, I was JUST writing this out in the comments, too. But yours is so much more detailed. Love it.
willing to bet that's an fda employee putting in an extra violation for funsies at 4pm on a friday and then experiencing the most regret humanly possible at 9am on monday
Correct, I am a regulatory professional, supplements are not FDA regulated unless they claim to cure, treat, mitigate, or prevent a medical condition.
if Gwenyth Paltrow hadn't been so rich and come from such a powerful family, this wacky business of hers that literally insults people's intelligence would have been shut down a long time ago. Only the rich and powerful get away with shenanigins ..
Love the screenshot from “What We Do in the Shadows” when discussing psychic vampires 💀
Love that show!
I’m a bit concerned about the crystal water spray….. Wtf happens if you get that spray IN YOUR EYES?! Crushed, microscopic, crystal shards…. In your EYE. Think about that…. That can’t be safe, can it?? The thought gives me anxiety… 😬
Edit: Also- I think crystal healing works in a placebo way. I find crystals pretty, and I’ve learned that colors affect my mood. So in a sense, they do work- just in a sensory way.
Yeah I love crystals and minerals for like, magpie-brain reasons. A smooth rock in my pocket is soothing for sensory reasons, not because the spiritual energies of the rocks.
Agreed. My sister loves rocks because she's a geologist and it gives her joy collecting them. But they ain't gonna balance her hormones 😂
I think crystal infused just means that the liquids have been hanging out with the rocks for a while, like having crystals soaking in the water before bottling it.
Im confused if the sensory statement was supposed to be an elaboration or not 💀 But yeah it is proven that crystal healing IS a placebo effect- in certain cases, the crystals can actually be detrimental to your health due to storage conditions and properties of the stone, but the placebo effect makes you notice positive changes , because you believe it works and your brain wants to make ends meet. It should also be noted that placebo effects can still work even when you are aware that its a placebo efffect! The effect is just lessened by a ton lol
I’m not a crystal girly but I’ve heard tigers eye (which is listed in the ingredients) sometimes contains asbestos. So if they are grinding it up how would they be positive you’re not being exposed to asbestos ? It even says online that problems may arise if you’re grinding them up
Every time I see her in my feed I think “what did she do now.” Even my husband, who’s not a skincare girlie, knows better. He refers to proper sunscreen application as “not the Gwyneth method.”
Omg the psychic vampire description is killing me 😂 if you relate to people sucking your energy it’s time to set some boundaries, don’t waste your money
Hearing Brits say "Up your bum" or "up your bumhole" will always be the funniest thing ever to me 😆
I think Gwyneth IS an energy vampire. Because every time she starts talking I feel my life force draining away. I’d never use vampire repellent because you never know when you’ll run into a Jackie Daytona regular human bartender who is a genuine good “guy”. I’d hate to repel that kind of vampire!
y'know, every time I hear about Gwyneth I just feel sorry for her character of Pepper Potts, like, Pepper absolutely would despise her, completely disappointing
Yes! Pepper doesn't deserve that slander associated with herself.
There’s a My Strange Addiction episode where the girl is addicted to coffee enemas and her fiancé says he won’t marry her if she doesn’t stop then it cuts to like 6 months later and now they are married and both doing the enemas.
I remember that one!
A friend of mine does them but her constipation and loss of Appetite got worse
All I can think about is the My Strange Addiction episode where a couple was addicted to coffee enemas . Also that little look after the "mushrooms are illegal" cracked me up
That episode always stays in my brain. Those people stayed at home all the time, couldn't go out because they were so addicted to coffee enemas.
Ah yes, essential oils that cure depression. Why didn't my doctors tell me about that?
Right?? I would’ve gotten rid of my therapist and medication long time ago 🙃
Because of the Pharma industry, duh
Because medical doctors don't 'believe' in anything but man-made pharmaceuticals. Period.
Why the hell is she constantly wanting to sell things for people to put inside of them 😩
The thought of the potential bacteria that could grow on those eggs seriously makes me feel lightheaded 😢
Also factor in many crystals dissolve when wet often becoming toxic, the polish used may not be safe to use in this manner, many rocks and gemstones are naturally radioactive which while safe to have in your house it's pretty risky for it going inside of you, etc
🤢
It’s like people that use random household items to masturbate 😭 like, I get it 40 years ago when it was less common to have a sex toy shop in your town, but it’s 2023. At this point there is no excuse, just buy a real, safe sex toy online!!! 😭
I get my vampire repellent from my local greengrocers or supermarket. It’s really good on baguettes as well, so that’s a bonus. 😂
😂
They don't crush up crystals, they will just put the crystals in the water for a certain amount of time and believe that the water 'aligns' itself or takes on the properties of the crystal. I had a friend who went to an alternative therapies school and they even believed in putting water in different coloured glass containers and setting it in the sun and the water took on the qualities of the colour to help cleanse auras. Now if the energy spray had used some essential oils and you chucked in a few crystal chips, I'd try it (more likely tried making it, not paying £40 for it!), like I do modern Pagan witch craft and we use crystals to help enhance rituals and spells, but I do spells to help someone find positivity in challenging situations, to encourage self love, to inspire change, not cure someone's depression. It's places like Goop that give us a bad name. Drives me crazy.
your content is one of the best things helping me through this very tough breakup - i'm refraining from listening to music to not ruin any songs for me, and listening to your videos has been so nice. thank you.
As someone who used to be woo woo about crystal energy (mostly just dumb stuff like putting a citrine under my pillow for pleasant dreams), i think the idea is that the energy of the crystals gets "infused" into the water and the water is able to be used on your skin if you don't want to use the crystal directly somehow (like, say, a yoni egg). But i feel it is important to note that not all crystals are safe to do this with, namely ones like malachite and other crystals that have a greenish/bluish color because of the copper ore nearby that oxidizes and lends its color. Raw copper is toxic and can easily leech into the water, and give you mild copper poisoning. Don't put it in tea, your bath, an aquarium, anything. Same goes for stuff like sulfur crystals or selenite. Selenite is SOOO common and you should not make any recipes with it that you plan to ingest or bath in or use topically. Quartz is usually safe so rose quartz and amethyst and citrine (different quartz color variations) but i must warn that treated quartz such as the aura quartz has been coated with some sort of thin reflective metal coating and is probably not safe either. I would also not use polished rocks as many are coated with a lacquer afterwards to preserve their shine and who knows what's in that!!! Ultimately crystals are nice to look at, but don't have any practical uses.
Yeah, there's a lot of rocks and minerals and metals that you can't just toss into water, or that you even want to wash your hands after handling. Basic chemistry is important if you're going be involving these things with the human body.
Malachite is VERY poisonous. Also, doesn't selenite just... dissolve in water bc it's a very soft mineral??
Agreed. That's why, as I noted above, I have VERY few trusted stone sellers whose product I use in settings. And if I have to do any modification on any malachite, I have a respirator I wear. I think there might be arsenic in it too.
I love your facial expressions during this video!! Gwyneth Paltrow is like a traveling salesperson selling snake oil. The only difference is she truly believes these products work and uses them every day herself!!
As far as the “wellness industry” targeting men, perhaps things are different in the UK, but in the US, there are “Men’s” clinics popping up on every corner like Starbucks. They tell mostly middle aged men that low testosterone is to blame for everything from their impotence to their fatigue and depression. They give them injections of testosterone instead of addressing the causes of their low levels, diabetes, poor diet, lack of exercise, morbid obesity. They lie to them about the risk and benefits of testosterone supplementation. Research has failed to show significant improvement in mood, energy levels and even sexual performance in middle aged men given testosterone supplementation. Also they are at increased risk of prostate cancer, liver cancer, heart attacks and strokes.
Then there is the testicular tanning devices that Tucker Carlson did an undisclosed ad for on Faux News before he was fired. What a great way to waste money and get melanoma in a place where you’ll never notice it.

As someone who is currently struggling with depression and has done for years, I can sadly say, multiple people have said " have you tried having a nice, smelly bath?"😂😂
Dude. (and I mean that in an exclamatory sense.) I have a (now adult) developmentally disabled autistic daughter. NO SHE IS NOT SOME HOOPTY MAGICAL INDIGO CHILD. And the only reason she functions as well as she does in a group home setting is thanks to decades of work on our part, on her therapists' parts, on her teachers' parts, nothing to do with aliens or higher frequency souls, no she doesn't just need a good spankin', no she doesn't need your herbal wtf in her diet, or sageing her bedroom, or whatever.
(yes we had her on the gf/cf diet. It did actually help, as she had awful sleep disturbances made worse by those two things in her diet. She's grown out of that now in her 20's and does fine on a conventional diet.)
Me too, or “listen to some nice music, have a massage!” Ok lol
Yup. I've been told many times that the Zoloft I take is "toxic". Yeah, not nearly as toxic as the thoughts that had me contemplating driving my car off a bridge during my commute.
And when my kids, who are both autistic, were young, we were told a number of times to force feed them charcoal to get rid of the metals in their system. Yeah, no.
A lot of crystals will leach dangerous minerals and the like when they're left in water, which is why the idea of drinking crystal infused water can be so dangerous. I hate to imagine what could be coming out of those crystal eggs
The look on your face when you said “LOVE” as the first ingredient that needs to be a gif please someone make this happen lmfaoooo
I think the “revers osmosis water” is a typo of reverse osmosis water. Reverse osmosis is a process of taking salt water and then pushing it through a molecular sieve that only lets H2O through, leaving behind NaCl and other solutes.
Yeah it’s just a way to purify water.
That vampire spray might actually work if you sprayed it on the people who bother you, like a misbehaving cat... 🤔

Spray it right in peoples eyes 👀
Or spray directly on the soul sucking vampire 😂
Some crystals also leech harmful things into water so definitely dont spray cats

As a qualified Naturopath (Bachelor of health science in Australia) I just want to say that not only is the "wellness industry" very different from genuine Naturopathic/Herbal/Nutritional medicine but that the false claims and bs frustrate us just as much, if not more! The way professional Herbalists and Naturopaths use herbs gets appropriated into skincare with marketing concentrations and not efficacy concentrations all the time!
Lolol when I taught high school science, we started each course learning about scientific method and how to identify pseudoscience. I always used Goop as an example, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed analyzing the misleading language and laughing at the (school friendly) products. We had great class discussions about why scientific literacy matters, emphasizing the financial, political, medical and social consequences of pseudoscience. I also had them distinguish between what criteria pushed pseudoscience from harmless fun to dangerous scams. I miss those days 😭

I think part of why so many of these things are targeted at women, is because women frequently face issues being believed, or treated by doctors. There’s lots of studies out there showing that many women feel that their pain is dismissed by doctors (more than half according to one UK study), and even for doctors that mean well, a lot of the knowledge and research in many disease areas were exclusively done in men for decades. It’s easier to target a population with pseudoscience, when there already distrust of doctors and the healthcare system.
this makes a lot of sense!
Ive struggled with depression my whole life, and im ngl thats a bit insulting that she would even try to say essential oils can cure depression

@@lilyflower5576 oh I never said I'm not open to it, I'm open to almost anything. If I had to sniff essential oils every few minutes for the rest of my life in order to not deal with depression, I'd do it 10000000%. It's total BS tho, but id still try it 😂🤷♀️
People (college students mostly) doing alcohol enemas have died because it bypasses the stomach and liver and makes the absorption greater than drinking it. Maybe the caffeine in coffee works the same way????

For anyone who needs to know, toxins are a thing but they are naturally evacuated by your body. Toxins are essentialy substances produced by animals, a plants, most of the time microorganisms that are toxic to humans. The thing these welness brands omit is that the body is made to deal with toxins. We have enzymes that break down harmful molecules into harmless ones, we urinate, we sweat, etc. These brands take a scientific term, then twist it and add things to it, making it a pseudoscience BUT THEY STATE ALL OF IT AS IF ITS BEEN PROVEN!!! They are fully aware that what they say isn't scientific but they use words like "holistic" and "toxins to trick people.
If you want to pay for a crystals, thats great but you shouldn't be buying it because you have been manipulated into thinking it has scientific backing when it doesn't.
That's why we have kidneys! 🤣
Precisely
I have tried to explain to many people that you have a liver and kidney to remove toxins, if those aren't working, you need a doctor, not essential oils.

I can’t take GP I met her years ago thru and ulta event and all I remember is she was wearing a stunning white Gucci dress and there was bronzer or tanner along the collar. It was heinous. But srsly she’s not to be trusted.
I recently saw an interview (or podcast) she did with some “nutritionist/healthy lifestyle” (?) person. She was sitting there, in the studio… with an IV IN HER VEIN. When the other person asked about that…. she talked about FREQUENTLY getting IV “nutrition and hydration…” because she’s often “exhausted from travel and work.” (Not exactly her words, but it’s the gist of it.) As a nurse with 30+ years experience… only people with serious medical issues or people in “emergency situations” should use IVs. If an otherwise “healthy”!person thinks they (frequently) need IVs to deal with “life”, then I suggest they may want to have a look at their diet and lifestyle and make some changes.
Why were colonic irrigations so popular in the 2000's?! I had one as a teenager when my family were desperately trying to find something to make me feel better (turns out it was a chronic immune system problem and washing your intestines wont help that) it was an unusual experience to say the least
As someone who used to suffer from chronic constipation/lack of bowel movements (laxatives wouldn’t work for me), colonic hydrotherapy would clear me out and get all the buildup stuff and gas out.

James, I am SO grateful for your video. Your perspective and levity is welcome when the Goop claims infuriate me.
So many of these products are absolutely insulting, and absolutely ridiculous, and I have no respect for Gwyneth and Goop (and others like them) who are today’s version of “snake oil salesmen”, and apparently have no regard for human beings, nor true accountability for their choices in product development and marketing.
Love your content!
The coffee enema gave me flashbacks to Gillian "the poo lady" McKeith on You Are What You Eat. That was in 2004 so you were spot on with early 00s.
Thanks for this video James! I think a lot of women look for ways to manage their health outside the regular medical system because they’ve been overlooked or mistreated by medical professionals in the past. Unfortunately, people like GP prey on them. As someone who has had to take my health into my own hands more than once, I empathize with these women. But really GP is a monster and her website is like a satire to me. Thanks for exposing her predatory behavior again and again! 💜🖤💜🖤
You brought up such a good point about how disproportionately these things are targeted at women to "fix" them. I wonder how much of this might overlap with how much less medicinal research (both historically and now) focuses on women and women-specific problems.
As far as Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop is concerned, wasn't it P. T. Barnum the famous circus showman who coined the truism, " there's a sucker born every minute"?
14:47 On that point, I believe that Joe Rogan is definitely Goop for men. Replace beauty and wellness with muscle and manliness, and you have enough supplements and "Alpha Brain" to sell to unsuspecting customers.
Someone tell Gwyneth I actually do have something that might cure some of her shame spirals. It’s called not scamming people, she should try it sometime
I love this kind of videos! Thank you so much for taking time and A LOT of mental energy to inform and entertain us, I really appreciate how you bring specialists and are so sensible talking about all issues (when it comes to women, for example, you always speak with respect showing your opinion while knowing you can't know it as a woman) ❤

I added a powdered flavored drink mix in mine. As long as it doesn’t have red coloring in it, it makes it a bit better. Not that anything will make it “ Delicious”. But more tolerable.

The name [of amethyst] is Greek for "sober." Now, this makes sense once you hear the story of Bacchus. He was the Roman god of wine and revelry. One day, he was in a foul mood and set his tigers on the next person to cross his path. This unlucky person happened to be a maiden named Amethyst who was on her way to the Goddess Diana's temple. Diana turned her into a pillar of quartz to stop the tiger attack. Bacchus was so remorseful; he poured wine over the pillar as an apology and stained the pillar purple. As a result, the stone was believed to have the power to stave off drunkenness. In fact, the ancient Greeks and Romans would carve drinking goblets from the violet quartz rather than wear them as amethyst and diamond rings, in an attempt to remain sober as they drank their wine.
I heard they also put an amethyst jewel IN their drinking vessels.

The only way any of those products could work is the placebo effect
I am so entertained by you and this video!! Thank you for the giggles 😂😂
It’s James pausing to laugh at the shenanigans for me 🤣
A lot of this can be tied back to placebo effects- in certain cases, the crystals and 'supplements' used in holistic healing and rituals can actually be detrimental to your health. Soemtimes for less obvious reasons, like reactions in certain storage conditions and reactive properties of the stones/ingredients. Despite the known risk and possible harm being done, the placebo effect makes you notice positive changes , because if you believe it works, your brain wants to make ends meet. It should also be noted that placebo effects can still work even when you are aware that its a placebo efffect! The effect is just lessened by a ton lol
i would think crushing the crystals into a powder or chips and putting them in water would create a big risk of your insides getting cut up... 😬
