As my neighborhood burns to the ground, this is such a nice reprieve. I recently had the Norovirus and ordered an IV doc to come to my house to fill me with nutrients and Zofran. Highly recommend. I love your content.

Ahh Robyn, my heart goes to you 🥺💔. Your note made me tear up. Thank you for even reading TM today (and always). And YES to IVs when sick I just found out that they can give zofran? I’m like am I living in the dark ages why didn’t I know this existed LOL. I will def be doing that if I’m struck by flu or cold season!!

Do we have a first hand experience of the migraine oil yet? I had a migraine reading this last week and now I’ve had a tab open with the oil for like 10 days waiting to purchase.

Ugh noooo I’m sorry — ofc I haven’t had a headache since I bought it…. Which feels revolutionary bc I always get headaches??? Is this late stage placebo in action???? Like someone call Gwyneth 😭😭😭

Disappointed to see that manifestation was left off the list! Even the WSJ wrote about it! (Seriously I loved this issue though.)

Omg TRUEEEE I didn’t even discuss grounding sessions with energy healers (which are def happening). Maybe a sign of how steeped I was in the goop adjacent universe that it didn’t even seem novel enough to note or parse out😭😭 would have loved to dig into this though UGH💔

I laughed while reading. A small % of you call goop adjacent... maybe half way. I'd draw the line at raw milk and other "extreme" mats and first dead ☠️before using birkin/wirkins. I only use crossbodys from free people. Will buy Migraine oil. Don't know what the acronyms mean 🤷🏼‍♀️

Of course so much fun. Enjoyed it lots. Loved your humor and irreverence. I don't know what acronyms would I be described accurately with though. Goop adjacent ?😂😆 semi hippy, tarot enthusiast, cat lady, meditator, sometime barefoot walker, tree hugger, borderline buddhist, boomer, speculative fiction latina writer who drinks whole milk. Love your name too. 🔥

Not me coming here to say that apparently you can’t even ground anymore because of all the underground cables/fibers/sh*t unless you’re at the beach where the wet sand is??? I heard this on Maria Menounos’ podcast.

HAHAHAH!!! Wait yes I was told that it’s now strongest at the beach but I didn’t realize it had to be wet sand!! Fascinating

Normally I enjoy reading your content, but raw milk is a potential vector for the bird flu (among a bunch of other things that are quite undesirable). I wouldn't describe it as chic, safe, or infectious disease scientist approved (which I am, hi).

Hi!!!!! I knew this would be contentious and am glad we’re chatting about it !!!!!! To be sooo clear I am not in the raw milk hive, but I promised to fully investigate all of the hot button topics for this post so I’m going there! This isn’t MY pov but just spilling the language that I’ve observed (and asked around to several medical professionals to get more clarity on WHY (rich) ppl might be compelled to drink it and WHEN it’s safER to drink!). I included bc it felt like a nuanced POV of raw milk, not because I agree, but because I’d be remiss to not believe that (non-extreme) ppl are drinking it. So we should talk about it!!! And have convos like this!!
