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 deep dive the program that is showing up in every single runner's social media feed (SHOUTOUT TO ADS) Running Diet. With ads like "The easiest plan to follow for weight loss" and "I never wanted to lose weight, I just wanted to get rid of my flabby belly that was bothering me for years. Thanks to Running.diet, I did it in 6 weeks". 

So this week, we're breaking down Running.diet and breaking down everything from their shameful advertising to their mediocre running training plan.

We deep dive:

• What they do right
• The toxic (and unrealistic) image that they are selling
• Caims that Running.diet is making -- from changing your life via weight loss to "cheat days" and fat shaming.
• The meal plan 
• Why the ways in which you rate "success" via Running.diet are unsafe and irresponsible
• Whether it's a waste of money.

We recognize that behind every single diet, program, product, or anything else there are people — people who are trying to feel good, get answers, find love, and feel happy. People who are targeted, or rather preyed on, by the industry. 

Our goal is not to tell you what to do. Our goal is to help you put your curiosity goggles and make choices that are informed and empowered.

Tune in as we break it down!

In this episode, we're shining the spotlight on the "ice cream" that was name America's best-selling pint of ice cream: Halo Top.

During last week's episode we explored 10 questions to help you get curious about your relationship with exercise. 

This week we're taking things one step further and unpacking our relationship with food AND fitness.

Specifically, we're asking: Are you exercising to earn your food?

This question leads the ladies to share personal experiences and anecdotes as it relates to their previously unhealthy relationships with eating and exercise. It also leads to larger discussions about how what's perpetuated as "normal" when it comes to eating and exercise (especially on social media) is far from normal.

Put your curiosity goggles on and get ready to ditch diet culture!

Exercise.

This week, Kelly and Kayla are exploring 10 questions to help you get curious about your relationship with exercise.

Some of the questions that Kelly and Kayla unpack include:

• Do I look forward to moving my body in this way?
• Do I let numbers (reps, miles, pace, calories, etc) influence how I feel once I'm finished?
• Do I allow myself to fully rest (unplanned) when I am sore, tired, or just not feeling it?

These questions lead the ladies to share personal experiences and anecdotes as it relates to their previously unhealthy relationships with exercise. It also leads to larger discussions about  how what's perpetuated as "normal" when it comes to exercise and movement in today's society is far from normal.

It's time to fasten your seatbelts and tighten your curiosity goggles!

One of the most transformative books that Kelly and Kayla have read in a long time.

In this week's episode, we are so excited to interview Dr. Lexie Kite, who co-authored More Than a Body: Your Body is an Instrument, Not an Ornament with her twin sister, Dr. Lindsey Kite.

Twin sisters Dr. Lexie Kite and Dr. Lindsay Kite received their

PhDs from the University of Utah. Their academic research on

media studies and body image inspired them to establish the non-

profit Beauty Redefined in 2009 (while concluding their co-written

master's thesis and beginning their doctoral research) to help

women recognize and reject harmful messages about their bodies,

worth, and potential, and redefine the meaning and value of beauty

in their lives.

Since then, Lexie and Lindsay have become leading experts in body

image resilience and media literacy and have been featured in a

variety of national publications and interviews. Today, they

continue to build on their academic work and the passion it stoked

for helping girls and women through Beauty Redefined's online body image resilience course and course

facilitator program, and regular speaking events for thousands of people of all ages at universities, high schools, and

community organizations.

More Than a Body has been the most transformational book Kelly and Kayla have read on body image. The book covers everything from self-objectification and body image resilience to the commodification of body positivity and why we need to demand more of a movement that continues to place women's bodies at the center. 

We break down everything there is to know about positive body image and body image resilience, as well as practical tools that you can use to change the way you think about yourself, and your body, and how you show up in the world.

This conversation was insightful, authentic, and nothing short of awe-inspiring.

We can't wait for you to tune in and listen!

If there's one supplement that's blown up over the past year, it's Athletic Greens. It seems like every influencer -- from triathlete or wellness blogger to fashion influencer and mom -- is promoting it.

So one of the most common questions we get is: Why is Athletic Greens everywhere these days? 

Will it improve my performance? Should I take it? Is it poison punch?

This week we're breaking down Athletic Greens and demystifying this product that claims to do just about everything to supercharge your life.

We deep dive:

• What Athletic Greens and how much it costs
• The toxic (and unrealistic) image that they are selling
• Claims that Athletic Greens are making -- everything from improving liver and hormone function, to supporting gut health and digestion
• How the claims they make are not proven but are instead based on the "mechanism of action" of the nutrients rather than studies proving the claims
• Why they're targeting the already "healthy" and why most people who use it probably won't benefit from it
• Reasons why some people feel so good taking it
• How superdosing nutrients just makes for really expensive urine and makes your body work so much harder
• Some recommendations that they make that are flat out wrong

We recognize that behind every single diet, program, product, or anything else there are people — people who are trying to feel good, get answers, find love, and feel happy. People who are targeted, or rather preyed on, by the industry. 

Our goal is not to tell you what to do. Our goal is to help you put your curiosity goggles and make choices that are informed and empowered.

In our very first edition of "We tried it," we're shining the spotlight on the vegetable that you can find in just about anything these days. From pasta and bread to crackers and breakfast cereal, cauliflower has become a shining star, usually serving as a low-carb swap.  

Kelly and Kayla sample cauliflower pizza, cauliflower pretzels, cauliflower gnocchi, and cauliflower 'oats' -- some of which trigger the worst memories from dieting days, others which we love and will probably buy again. 

So is cauliflower everything punch?! It's a little more nuanced than that. 

So the ladies unpack 5 ways to tell if you're drinking punch or enjoying a fun (and slightly bizarre) trend.

This week the Poison Punch Podcast is introducing a new series: Truth or Poison Punch. 

Truth or Poison Punch is a game where Kayla and Kelly put their curiosity goggles on and unpack some of the messages we see in ads, on TV, and in real life, and answer the question: is this spiked with poison punch?!

When it comes to poison punch, we are some of the most common perpetrators. So in the first episode of its kind, Kayla and Kelly explore some of the most common they hear among their family and friends. Specifically, they're breaking down 5 messages: 

1. Treat yourself!
2. You are what you eat
3. Everything in moderation
4. Food is fuel
5. You look so healthy

Are these truths? Or are these poison punch? Tune in to find out!
