In the series, there are apparently a few “satirical” jokes about the wellness industry, including Gwyneth Paltrow‘s goop.

“I think we’re all being conned by the wellness industry,” she told The Guardian.

Rosamund went on, saying that “this idea that it’s no longer enough to be healthy and we have to be ‘well’ is something that needs to be interrogated.”

“Yet it’s so seductive because it’s in pursuit of things that people are ashamed to want, like youth, beauty, and fitness,” she added. “#MeToo gave women an opportunity to escape some of the demands put on them. Now, in a way, people are voluntarily flocking back to being controlled, but in a different guise, by these wellness claims.”

“It’s politicized our food, politicized our exercise, and I think it’s really dangerous,” Rosamund shared.
