  • Disappointed

    So disappointed in the skims ads. Supporting a company that has done so much harm to women around the globe makes me not trust any of the content anymore. Sold out.

  • Product pusher

    Simon should stick to plant-based eating and health as advocated in his book. Lately, he’s just been pushing too many supplements and gadgets (mattress covers, smart watches, blood tests, etc) that it’s pretty sickening. He’s obviously getting kickbacks. His scientist/health professional guests are usually quite good and that’s the only reason I may keep listening.
