"The opposite of wellness": Gwyneth Paltrow slammed over "toxic" daily routine
Gwyneth Paltrow has been slammed online for sharing her "detox" wellness routine, making people question her definition of "wellness".
The Goop founder appeared on the The Art of Being Well podcast with Dr. Will Cole, where she shared her insanely strict daily regime.
The 50-year-old touched on a series of topics, including keyboard warriors and "conscious uncoupling", but it was her comments about her routine and diet that caused the biggest upset.
A 40 second clip of the hour long interview has gone viral on TikTok, as Paltrow answered Dr. Cole's question: "What does your wellness routine look like right now?"
The actress says, "I eat dinner early in the evening. I do a nice intermittent fast."
"I usually eat something about 12 and in the morning I have things that won't spike my blood sugar so I have coffee."
"But I really like soup for lunch. I have bone broth for lunch a lot of the days. Try to do one hour of movement, so I'll either take a walk or I'll do Pilates or I'll do my Tracy Anderson."
"And then I dry brush and I get in the sauna. So I do my infrared sauna for 30 minutes and then for dinner I try to eat according to paleo - so lots of vegetables."
She concluded, "It's really important for me to support my detox."
The strict regime welcomed a flood of criticism online, as many questioned Paltrow's definition of the word "wellness".
One shocked user wrote, "Is starving wellness?" while another added, "I feel light headed just listening to this."
A third person simply said, "I relate to nothing in this video", while another outraged viewer wrote, "Is this wellness? Or is this punishment?"
However, the criticism did not stop there as professional dietitians also weighed in with their own thoughts.
Expert Lauren Cadillac created a duet with the clip on the video sharing platform to share her reaction to Gwyneth's revelations.
In it, the nutritionist repeatedly rolls her eyes, shakes her head, and gasps before claiming "bone broth is not a meal."
She concludes, "This is not enough food. Support you detox from WHAT?! You're not eating anything."
Another nutritionist weighed in on her routine, simply stating, "This is not wellness. This is not health. This is clinically concerning and toxic behaviour, and it's horrific that it's packaged as new age wellness."
