SHE BREAKS THE RULES
EP #34 From Cortisol Belly to Skinny Talk: Toxic Wellness Trends You Need to Let Go Of
From “cortisol face” to the rise of SkinnyTok, this episode is a bold breakdown of the wellness trends we’re done pretending are harmless. Faye and Taryn go full myth-busters on the most toxic fads circulating in women's health; the ones that prey on your insecurities, drain your wallet, and leave you feeling like you’re the problem when they don’t work.
Together, we unpack 7 trends and wellness myths that have been flooding your feed (and maybe even your supplement drawer), and we’re not holding back. This episode is about cutting through the noise so you can stop outsourcing your health to influencers and start tuning back into your body.
In this episode, we call BS on:
- “Cortisol belly” and “cortisol face” – Hint.. it's clickbait
- The perimenopause product boom – is it support, or are you being sold to?
- Berberine as a “natural Ozempic” – what it is really used for
- Parasite cleanses & detoxes – necessary protocol or sexy marketing ploy?
- Muscle soreness and sweat – do they actually mean you’re training well?
- Breathwork, mindset work & healing trends – what’s real vs what’s performance for the gram
- The rise of Skinny Talk – how diet culture just got rebranded for social media
Our key message:
You’re not broken. You don’t need fixing. You need to become your own investigator and stop giving your power away to trends that sound good but don’t serve you.
This episode is for you if:
- You’re overwhelmed by health content and don’t know what to believe
- You’ve tried every new trend and still feel stuck in your body
- You want real tools, not TikTok tactics
- You’re ready to break the rules and take your health into your own hands
