This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you appreciate the content here, please consider supporting the newsletter by subscribing and/or sharing! In Part 1 I talked about Beachbody’s supposed rebrand to “Bodi” to focus on health. I signed up for the 14-day free trial to check it out myself. I was holding out hope that perhaps they really were moving away from their weight loss focus, but all of those hopes evaporated after two minutes of scrolling the site.
Wow, this is so gross. I didn’t realize this was an MLM, either. I once had a chiropractor start to get shitty about weight loss (keto! Low carb! They’re they only way! Nevermind that I haven’t asked about your current diet or medical issues!), and he pointed to his daughter running the front desk and said she does beachbody and lost 150 lbs. The whole thing was awkward and shitty, but suggesting an MLM is even shadier.
Quick accessibility note: idk how blind and low vision folks feel about this, but I love alt text and descriptions because I have cellular internet and pics load slow. If the pic has text that includes a URL, I think it’s fine and helpful to include that in the transcription, but to prevent from generating traffic or a clickable URL, it could be spelled out as “gross diet MLM dot com.” Or, alternately, if it’s redacted in the description, redact it in the image, too.

“Stock and trade” is a common malapropism for “stock-in-trade” which I believe is what you meant to say…
Thanks, it's fixed!
