Right? Our family friend is an OBGYN, and she’s said that we should all be avoiding tampons (even period cups are not all made from safe materials) and that fake nails (even manicured painted ones) should not be inside people. SAFETY is so important. Not everyone can afford or has access to medical care if a nail gets “lost inside”. And it sucks because period products should be accessible and safe for all! And anything going on or in our bodies should be safe, but they aren’t always :(.
Are quickies made from a safe plastic for this? Legit we are being told about toxic tampons and pads, forever chemicals in period panties…
fake nails aren’t historically made from something that should be “inside” the body. PSA : short cut, CLEAN, natural, unpainted nails won’t fall off “inside” anyone.;)
She lost 100LBS by starving herself and gained fame from it. It totally makes sense that now that she’s no longer on the cover of magazines revealing her “secrets to weight loss” that she becomes a charlatan peddling products to make $ off vulnerable people during an actually economic crisis. This is shameful behaviour.
DO NOT take health advice from people without medical degrees or a background in nutrition, especially when they profit from selling you something. Supplement and vitamin companies relying on (or reaching out to) influencers to sell their products are the worst kind of scum too.
She talks about having headaches, gluten intolerance, dairy intolerance, anxiety, bloating, PMDD, cankers, and she’s morphing from big to skinny all day long with hair that won’t grow? Oh yes, perfect partner for a vitamin brand 🙄.
And I’m not saying that healthy people don’t have health issues beyond their control, but expensive vitamins do not help you get these things under control. If your hair is breaking and won’t grow (always needing extensions to cover this fact), and you get cankers from stress, have anxiety, PMDD, bloating, headaches, etc, then you need to go see a DOCTOR! These are symptoms of quite a few things (possibly PCOS, type 2 diabetes, and even perimenopause to name a few) that might require medical intervention. Doctors can then refer you to specialists (all free in Canada by the way).
As someone with serious health problems and multiple surgeries in my past (all not caused by lifestyle, so beyond my control), I have never been healed by vitamins, but I have been saved by medical experts! And doctors aren’t immediately suggesting surgeries or prescriptions, but they are giving patients requisitions for blood work done and urinalysis, sometimes ultrasounds, and appointments with specialists. Food isn’t medicine (thank you Dr Joshua Wolrich) but often increasing dark leafy greens, whole grains, veggies, reducing or eliminating alcohol, cutting back on sugar, sleeping, getting outside, exercising (or movement if that’s the word you want to use) reducing allergens in the home, and reporting health changes TO YOUR DOCTOR is beneficial.
Not everyone has the privilege to be able to afford vacations to unwind, or buy nutritionally, dense foods, or work in an environment free of stress, or get adequate sleep (or in the United States even afford basic medical appointments) or even live in an area with clean air or access to medical assistance. Her act, that followers will benefit health wise from listening to her advice, is very dangerous, entitled and deplorable. Vitamins and supplements can of course be used for certain ailments : before iron infusions, often you’ll get on iron supplements for example, taking vitamin D can help with some health conditions and even magnesium is suggested by some pros. But diabetics cannot just “wing it” they need insulin. Babies that can’t get breast milk need formula to supplement what they will be missing. People with feeding tubes need a special concoction (created by experts) to survive. Depressed people on drugs can’t just drop it. Trans people depend on gender affirming care. People with kidney or liver disease cannot just take vitamins to heal themselves.
Giving health advice while selling a product is , as the kids would say , SUS. Nobody should be trusting a rando on the internet (who complains about feeling sh*tty on the regular) for health advice.
And no, I am not enough medical expert, which is why I would not give medical advice that would profit me. Read medical journals (and check sources and citations), talk to experts and if $ is involved, then it’s a scam.
While I’m here venting, go check out Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without borders) who actually help people in health crisis). If you have $ to give to a scam vitamin brand, spend it on helping people access actual medical care instead.
This person :
- thinks “consent is annoying” (regarding sex)
- exploits her minor children
- promotes brands that have been problematic
- refuses to speak up about Palestine, Sudan, DRC or LGBTQIA2S rights because her family might be doxxed but she lets the public know where they are at all times.
- promoted extreme dieting (how she became famous)
- speaks without any background about mental health and diagnoses (improperly) in a way that could cause harm to others in mental health crisis
- Films her child who has repeatedly asked to not be on social media, and then secretly post those things well not so secretly because she has millions of followers.
- won’t speak about body autonomy
Some people do go onto snark pages because they are “jealous of fame” but others like myself, and many others on this page have primarily gravitated here because she’s been asked to use her platform to address issues that cause harm and she won’t.
Yes! Steel toe shoes (or closed toe heavier duty shoes, and safety glasses too because if a rock flies up and hits regular sunglasses, you are not protected! And if you do not have a battery powered mower, that is quieter, you should be wearing ear protection. Denim is awesome as a thick fabric for lawn mowing if you don’t have work pants.
Pride was June:).
You’re an awesome mom! My partner is pansexual and Indigenous, and I still never just was like “I’m am ally”- I was given that honour by members of both communities after being active in events for years. I love that you are having important discussions in your home ! Similarly, we regularly discuss human rights, consent, trans rights, body autonomy, genocide, advocacy, etc. We wear our pro Pali stuff, pride stuff, and have an awesome circle that supports this.
I can’t imagine having millions of people, (allegedly millions of people) follow me and be OK walking the stage for misogynistic and sexualized magazine edition, and yet not be vocal about genocide, trans rights … literally anything of substance?
Keep supporting your child! It’s obvious that you have a safe space that you have provided, and all homes should be like this. We cannot assume that just because people don’t say anything about something that they are a safe space. It is the reason why it’s so important that everyone is vocal about these things.
You’re a great human!
White cisgender rich woman who : -exploits her kids -doesn’t speak up for LGBTQIA2S -doesn’t speak out against genocide
- plagiarized blogs of BIPOC women (and profited) and tried passing it off as her own and when caught blamed her “editor -threatened a journalist who called her out on her behaviour
- Thinks “consent is annoying”
- supports brands that contribute to genocide
- made her original $ from losing extreme weight, then shifted to grifting
- discloses location of her minor children daily, but won’t speak on causes for fear of being doxxed
- brags about trips, renovations
Just found out Travis Kelce & Tay tay broke their silence on Palestine- so NOW maybe birdie will? Or will she obsess about another set of athlete brothers instead?
