The Wellness Roast

HustleStudios Podcast Network

The Wellness Roast is a comedy podcast taking aim at the strangest, loudest, and most ridiculous corners of health and fitness culture. Each episode, two hosts pick apart one wellness trend, diet fad, self-help craze, or viral health obsession and ask the question everyone else is too polite to ask: Does this actually make sense? From miracle supplements and extreme morning routines to detox culture, biohacking, gym myths, expensive powders, and productivity gurus promising to fix your life before breakfast, The Wellness Roast separates the useful from the absurd with humor, skepticism, and a healthy dose of side-eye. The goal is not to mock people for wanting to feel better. It is to laugh at an industry that often makes feeling better unnecessarily complicated. Expect jokes, sharp commentary, questionable trends, exaggerated promises, and the occasional useful takeaway hiding underneath all the nonsense. Because sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop taking wellness culture so seriously. Produced by HustleStudios Podcast Network.
