Cult of Thinness: Gwen Shamblin

from Caviar and Criminals

In this week's episode, Anthony takes Dana deep into the world of Gwen Shamblin, the self-proclaimed prophet who built a weight loss empire turned cult. We unpack the shocking tactics Gwen used to convince people that thinness was next to godliness. Buckle up, because this one is a wild ride of diet culture, religious extremism and the woman who took it all way too far.
