Goop Yourself

Bakuchiols & Rutabegas

·1 hr 43 min·5 clips
Aggie reveals her 1am Jack in the Box order after a night out, while Brian admits to bi-weekly fast-food runs.
The episode begins with hosts Brian Rucker and Aggie Hewitt sharing personal stories: Aggie describes a late-night Jack in the Box binge, while Brian admits to frequent fast-food visits after tennis. This leads to a detailed conversation about seed oils, their prevalence in packaged foods, and potential health impacts like inflammation and obesity. They debate eliminating seed oils versus moderation, mentioning brands like Siete and Dang for alternatives. The hosts then shift to critiquing Goop content, starting with a sleep guide Aggie found useless, as it merely promoted holiday-themed products like masks and mocktails. Brian highlights a Goop article about a $750 lamp designed to simulate blue sky for productivity and claims UV light can generate beta-endorphins. They discuss the skincare ingredient bakuchiol as a retinol alternative featured in Goop face oil. Aggie shares her positive experience with Allison Roman's split pea soup recipe featuring rutabaga, which she predicts will be the next trendy vegetable. They analyze Tracy Anderson's morning routine on Goop, questioning its authenticity and noting her focus on oat milk foam and a broccoli-spinach soup. The episode touches on tangential topics like Jen Gunter's tweets, Seth Rogen's appeal in 'Pam & Tommy', restaurant service charges, and the challenges of finding seed-oil-free snacks. Throughout, the hosts blend personal anecdotes with cultural commentary on wellness and lifestyle brands.
