Hey Gang! Welcome to the RSR podacst! Today, it's time for some poison punch!!! 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.
This week, we’re revisiting the series: We tried it.
In this series, Kelly and Kayla will be drinking the punch (or what might be punch), sharing our thoughts, and exploring tips and tricks for you to get curious about your own relationship with the products, services, procedures, and more that can fall into the category.
In this episode, we’re shining the spotlight on the “ice cream” that was named America’s best-selling pint of ice cream: Halo Top.
Kelly and Kayla sample several varieties and flavors of Halo Top and bring on a special, unbiased guest.
Spoiler alert: It is not ice cream. It is poison punch.
From marketing messages laced with guilt and shame to playing into diet culture’s biggest food rules and need to justify food choices, the ladies unpack 3 reasons why it’s poison punch.
Put your curiosity goggles on and get the scoop.
