As it turns out, Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow has found herself in their crosshairs, and for very good reason.
Paltrow shared her “daily wellness routine” and got referred to as the “mother of all almond moms” as a result.
For those who do not have the latter phrase in their lexicon, it refers to parents that cause their children to have disordered eating with their bizarre tactics. Let us be very clear here, Paltrow’s daily wellness routine is about as bizarre as it gets.
This controversy began as a result of her interview with chiropractor Will Cole, who hosts The Art of Being Well podcast.
“What’s your wellness routine look like right now?” is the question that Dr. Cole posed to her. The wild ride that she took the audience on from there is one for the ages. The answer that she gave was clipped and shared on the TikTok platform.
The interview led to a very important conversation about the concept of wellness and how it can mean lots of different things to lots of different people.
Paltrow starts her day with a cup of coffee and partakes in intermittent fasting. Lunch consists of bone broth or soup. She also has an hour of “movement” scheduled each day before spending 30 minutes in an infrared sauna.
Paltrow has a paleo dinner on the early side, which will consist of mostly vegetables. “It’s really important for me to support my detox,” she says.

It was not long before everyone ganged up on her and we can see why. The sheer number of people calling her an almond mom was enough to send us into hysterics. “Almond mom final boss,” said one viewer.
We are not sure why Paltrow still looks so sickly even when she is taking all of these steps to remain healthy. That’s the part that threw us off the most. “If you only eat healthy, what are you detoxing from??” asked one viewer and this is the question that is sticking with us.
