Omg so my wife just told me about this bonkers diet she did in her 20's called the Dukan diet and I am reeling. It is kind of atkinsy on its face, but when you get into the weeds it is so fantastical. Maybe you guys mentioned that before but if not I would love to hear that discussion, the rules and claims and meal plans are all prime Maintenance Phase fodder!

Hey - a late question. Probably you’ve seen everything blowing up around Russell Brand. It certainly is in the UK. I knew he’d gone all conspiracy theory wing nut but until the recent coverage I wasn’t aware of how wellness grifter & other wellness grifter adjacent he is. There’s a clique of them. I wondered what you thought about this particularly nasty example of someone manipulating suckers online for ill.

I know this post was from a year ago so, whoopsies, shooting my shot anyways! I am so curious about the origins of chiropractic work and the culture surrounding the practice today. seems often linked to the wellness-to-qanon pipeline and associated beliefs. that being said i have seen chiropractors all my life and have experienced great personal benefit from it, so i’m not totally knocking the practice itself, i just have this funny feeling there’s likely some problematic stuff in its origins given the culture it sits in today. Thanks!!!
