Description

Cellulite. Almost every woman has it, a few men do too — and yet it’s been sold to us as this giant flaw we must fix. Billions are spent every year on creams, teas, wraps, and treatments that promise a “cure”… but do they actually work?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about cellulite:

  • Where it came from and why it only became a “problem” in the 1960s
  • The science of what cellulite actually is (spoiler: it’s not “toxins”)
  • Myths and marketing tricks — from miracle creams to dry brushing and cold plunges
  • What does make a difference (hint: it’s free and way less glamorous)
  • Why cellulite doesn’t define you — and how to embrace body confidence without sacrificing your health

I’ll also share some personal stories (like my London cream obsession that wasn’t actually the cream at all!) and the empowering reminder that cellulite is normal. Your worth has nothing to do with the texture of your thighs.

And if you want a little inspiration on normalizing dimples, stretch marks, and real skin, go follow Sarah Landry a.k.a. The Birds Papaya — she’s changing the game for women everywhere.

So if you’re tired of wasting money on miracle potions, or just want to feel a little less alone in your dimples — this one’s for you.
