Summary

*Content Warning: This episode deals with Toxic Diet Culture and mentions disordered eating and orthorexia. Please use caution when listening.* When I first put out a call to action for this season's main theme of Health and Wellness, SO MANY of you reached out and told me that I needed to chat with Jen Borruso. Not only is Jen now a Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach, but she used to be a BeachBody Hun, so she knows a thing or two about how MLMs manipulate our minds with toxic diet culture. We chat about Anti-MLM, what red flags to look for when choosing a coach, Master Resale Rights, disordered eating, and the fall of the MLM formerly known as BeachBody/Bodi.

0:00.0	Hey, I'm Roberta Blevins, and this is live after MLM, a podcast where we worked and the stigma of failure in an industry systemically designed for you to fail.
0:20.1	Join us as we dive into the real lifelife stories of survivors, experts, and advocates as we debunk
0:26.0	the common myths and fallacies of cults, frauds, scams, and multi-level marketing.
0:31.6	Thank you. The The The
1:13.6	The Hey, HunBots and Hun bros. We've got a great episode today about the MLM we all love to hate, Beachbody.
1:43.5	And one of the funniest things about Beachbody to me
1:45.9	is how they love to advertise on anti-MLM content. For some reason, and I don't know why,
1:52.3	Beachbody will slip through the cracks, and often there'll be a Beachbody commercial on this podcast.
1:57.9	And I've gotten it removed from my approved ad list a couple times, but somehow
2:01.5	they always get back on. And my answer to everybody who messages me about it is basically they just
2:07.2	want to pay me to talk shit about them. And so if you hear a Beachbody ad in this episode,
2:13.3	just know that we're working extra hard for that money in this episode.
2:18.9	A couple of content warnings.

2:30.5	And so I just want to give you a heads up.
2:32.7	We don't go too deep into it, but we do talk about it,
2:36.2	so it could be triggering for some people. Other than that, this is a great episode with Jen
2:40.5	Barruso about health and wellness and fitness and nutrition and beach body and the fall of
2:46.7	beach body and a couple other fun little things. So I hope you enjoy it and we will see you next week.
