Since starting Goop in 2008, Gwyneth Paltrow aimed to share ways to “nourish the inner aspect” through unconventional and expensive wellness fads and lifestyle items with other wildly pretentious people, and also to turn a profit, obviously. So, she’s tried a lot of things over the years, but while guesting on The Art of Being Well, she shared that the strangest wellness thing she’s ever tried is rectal ozone therapy, which is when ozone gas is pumped right into your fart-box. Though the FDA warns against it, Gwyneth (and others who also aren’t qualified to give medical advice) claim it has many benefits.
The Daily Mail says during the podcast, Dr. Will Cole, asked Gwyneth to share the weirdest or most obscure treatment she’s tried, and she answered that she’s gotten ozone gas (which is toxic if inhaled in too large of an amount) administered rectally. She didn’t mention any side effects, but assuming the toxic gas has to eventually find somewhere to exit from, the insufferable trash that comes out of her mouth sometimes (see: nepo babies having to work twice as hard) now makes a lot more sense.
Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that the weirdest wellness thing she’s ever done is rectal ozone therapy, a procedure where the powerful gas is delivered via catheter into the colon.
‘I have used ozone therapy, rectally. Can I say that?’ the 50-year-old Oscar winner said on Monday’s episode of Dear Media podcast The Art of Being Well.
‘It’s pretty weird. It’s pretty weird, yeah. But it’s been very helpful.’
Benefits of rectal ozone therapy are said to be reduced pain/inflammation, increased energy, improved metabolism/circulation, stimulated immune system, detoxification, anti-aging, and fighting bacterial/viral infections.
Here’s the clip:
Gwyneth’s also been drinking ketones lately, which apparently taste like the gas that escapes Gwyneth Paltrow after she “nourishes her inner ass-pect.”
Gwyneth’s wellness journey also has her consuming ketone drinks, which The Art of Being Well host said tasted like ‘cherry gasoline.’
‘It helps with cognition and brain fog and energy. I have it with green tea in the afternoon. It tastes pretty, pretty bad,’ Paltrow agreed.
‘I believe that they are coming out with an improved flavor or an improved version, which is very exciting.’
The Los Angeles native detailed her entire daily wellness routine involving transcendental meditation, Pilates, Tracy Anderson workout, and infared sauna sessions.
Is this dogged pursuit of “wellness” even worth it if one’s entire day revolves around the pursuit of being well? Butt, even though we had to hear about and thus visualize Goopy’s ass air, there’s a silver lining; between getting all of that raw-dog ghost anal and running Goop, she doesn’t really have any time left for acting these days (nor does she miss it)(nor do we miss her).
Gwyneth – whose last acting gig was Netflix series The Politician in 2020 – admitted her job at Goop makes an acting career ‘impossible’ in the future, but she also said ‘never say never.’
‘I also recognize that I am an artist. I mean, and I think entrepreneurs are artists as well,’ Paltrow explained.
‘It’s a very similar spirit and I feel like that need to create and that that expressiveness will probably always need to come through me. And, you know, if there’s a day that my day job at Goop is less intensive, and it wouldn’t surprise me if after kind of having some downtime if I felt like, “Oh, you know, I’d love to go do a play or something like that.” So I’m open. I just, it’s not something I pursue right now.’
So as much as some would love to exhale, “ugh, just blow it out your ass” anytime Goopy opens her trap, maybe put a pin in that one and find some different pejoratives; because she’ll blow it out of her ass and right into a candle called “This Smells Like My Ozone Ass.” Don’t tempt Goopy with a good grift!
