The Truth About Goop's SCAMMERY

Today I wanted to talk about something that blows my mind- goop and it's business model. I wanted to talk about all the problems with Gwyneth Paltrow's company goop and how they may use fear mongering tactics to spread misinformation in order to sell their extremely expensive and overpriced products. Funny enough I filmed this before the Netflix "documentary..?" trailer came out featuring the infamous Gwyneth Paltrow herself, but I've had a bone to pick with goop for quite some time. As a health and wellness nerd myself, I feel goop and companies like it with "high-end" health products perpetuate the idea that health products are only for the wealthy and elite who can afford it. I also think much of what goop sells on it's website have health claims with no scientific basis or backing, which can only do damage for the "clean"/"wellness" movement. Articles featured on the goop blog allude to a lifestyle in favor of alternative medicine, spreading distrust in science and medicine in an effort for goop to gain consumer's trust, and in turn... their wallets. This is my opinion of course, but I wanted to point out in today's video all the problems with goop and why it's a company doing more harm than good to the wellness community.
