Gwyneth Paltrow receives criticism for saying that COVID-19 caused her weight gain

During the podcast The art of being well Actress Gwyneth Paltrow gave details about the ravages of COVID-19 last year, from fatigue and brain fog to a slower metabolism, which she says caused her to gain weight.

The Oscar winner has become an influential factor in health and lifestyle since she created her website Goop, where he offers advice on branches such as beauty, style and food.

From this project also appeared a documentary series of the same name that explores psychedelic substances, energy fields and other measures of well-being.

During the podcast, he also talked about the dietary alternative he applies in this regard, which he recently wrote on his blog, where he said that a “practitioner of functional medicine” recommended a “fasting” healing regime. intuitive”.

“What I really noticed was the failure I had, you know, if I gained a little weight and I wasn’t happy, I could hurry to eat very well for a few days, exercise a lot and it would all go away. And that hasn’t happened in the last year, “said Paltrow.

His diet consisted of a ketogenic and vegan diet, avoiding sugar and alcohol, he also said he had not eaten since the night before and until 11:00 the next morning, he takes infrared saunas and detoxifies with bone broths to get cured of post COVID-19 symptoms.

Now not only have social media users criticized her, but also well-known scientists, such as the medical director of the UK National Health Service, Stephen Powis, who chose Paltrow to misinform society.

“In recent days, we have seen Gwyneth Paltrow suffer from the effects of COVID. We wish him well, but some of the solutions he recommends are not exactly what we would recommend on the NHS, ”said the British doctor.

The podcast in which the actress spoke is orchestrated by functional medicine doctor Will Cole, who consulted thousands of people around the world on their journey to health. Journalist Joanne Lipman and natural medicine doctor Josh Ax are others who participated.

“Like the virus, misinformation crosses borders, moves and evolves. So I think YouTube and other social platforms have a real responsibility and an opportunity, “said Dr. Powis.

It’s not the first time Paltrow has been tried for selling and recommending unusual products such as vampire psychic repellent, vagina scent candle, coffee enema and a few jade vaginal eggs that she claims help balance hormones.
