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 have our very first guest on the show, Dr. Moreen Rubin. Dr. Moreen Rubin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and has a Doctorate in Psychology. She is an Eating Disorder and Trauma specialist who works with clients to recover from eating and body image issues, OCD, anxiety, depression, and addiction, and heal from relational trauma. 

In this episode, we deep dive core beliefs and Dr. Mo walks us through the ins and outs of our identity, how it’s formed, and how we can take positive steps to changing the way we see ourselves. We break down:

• What core beliefs are and how the develop
• The role of social media and marketing in shaping how we see ourselves
• Identifying your own core beliefs
• How diet culture preys on and profits from our negative core beliefs
• The difference between happiness and fulfillment
• Why it’s so hard to change our identity
• Getting clear on what you truly value and using that as fuel to change
• How self-care is how you take your power back
• Actionable steps we can take to change our core beliefs

Kelly and Kayla also get vulnerable about their experiences with core beliefs and how they’ve evolved over time.

This episode is packed with nuggets of wisdom and inspiration to help you better understand yourself and what you can do to foster a positive sense of self.

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.

One of the most common questions we get is: What about Whole30? Is it poison punch?

This week we’re breaking down the Whole30 and demystifying this diet in disguise.

Specifically we’re talking about why the Whole30 is especially tricky, because it’s hard to argue against eating more fruits and vegetables, right?

We deep dive how:

• Food rules are at the core of the Whole30 and how these rules breed a restrictive mindset
• Saying it’s not about weight loss is one of the biggest red flags, and the ther promises they make are just as harmful
• Guilt and shame are the name of the game, and Whole30 is ready to gaslight you if you stray from ‘reset’
• It’s grounded in pseudoscience (and how Kayla was ghosted when she tried to learn about the ‘science’)
• It’s negligent to have people follow an extreme elimination and reintroduction protocol without medical support
• ‘Problem foods’ aren’t a thing, but thinking foods are problematic is
• Changing your relationship with food is a mental and emotional process requiring work, not simply eliminating a bunch of food

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 diet and beauty industries, and people whose lives are forever changed by their experiences. So we’re committed to also telling your stories. Stories that while unique in their details, represent the experience of so many. This week, we also have a special guest, Kiki Mikkelsen @kikiberunning (a member of our community, Badass Lady Gang), who talks about her relationship with Whole30 — the good, the bad, and why on her fourth round she finally decided it was enough. 

CW: Kiki’s experience does talk about weight, numbers, and other dieting behaviors. If this feels at all triggering for you, skip ahead to where Kayla and Kelly unpack the Whole30.

BADASS LADY GANG, MEET ‘TIS THE SEASON TO DITCH DIET CULTURE.

Here’s how we’re going to break it down:

Week 1: Ditch the disguise (because diet culture is sneaky AF)

Week 2: Diet is a noun and food isn’t the enemy - let’s bust some myths

Week 3: Detox your judgments… your liver and kidneys will do the rest

Week 4: People suck!!! Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge their projections

Week 5: Breakthrough the shit - if you want different, you need to do different

Week 6: Food isn’t medicine (and you consume way more than what you eat)

Week 7: No one knows you like you do! How to listen to your body in a noisy world

Week 8: What if self-love wasn’t the goal? Let’s start with self-care

Week 5: Breakthrough the $h*t — if you want different, you need to do different.

Change is an active process. And if you want different results, you need to do things differently. Over and over and over again.

There are probably a million and two things you want to change now that you’ve recognized all the ways in which diet culture is showing up for you.

And while we want you to break through alllllll the shit eventually, before I continue, I need you to know this:

YOU CAN DO IT ALL, BUT YOU CAN’T DO IT ALL AT ONCE.
