“I hate to give a bad review but I have listened to several episodes and was really eager to listen since I have a background in health and wellness. I find Jessica Ash to be well meaning but ironically close minded and often misinformed.
She does research on topics like women’s medical history and hormones but doesn’t have an actual mastery of the topic so it’s frustrating to listen to her conjectures on the various topics without having a deep level understanding.
Every episode has at least one misinformed comment. I’m going to stop trying to force myself to enjoy this and just stop listening.
When she said there is something wrong with people that want to put the fact that they’re Christian in their instagram bios - I found this to be such an overarching judgement on others. I get the “sinner saved by grace” comment but to lump anyone who mentions that they’re Christian in their bio as “part of the problem” is cringingly judgmental.
Jessica also said that that “nineties translucent sickly” model look is due to a lack of sun and health. What I find sad is that millions of people of Northern European descent have translucent skin because of the level of melanin in their skin NOT because they’re sickly.
At a certain point Jessica should stop mixing her opinion with science and history if what she’s wanting to do is educate people. There were factual errors and gross oversimplifications in the women’s medical history episodes as well.”
