Netflix offers a preview of Goop series — and critics pounce

Goop, the lifestyle brand from Gywneth Paltrow, is launching a six-episode series called “The Goop Lab” later this month, highlighting wellness issues, including female sexuality and longevity. But a new, provocative trailer for the Netflix series, which mentions energy healing and psychic mediums, is already being skewered by health experts. Dr. Jen Gunter, an OB-GYN and frequent Goop critic, repeated her concerns about the company promoting unproven and unscientific therapies. Dr. Timothy Caulfield, who hosts a pseudoscience-debunking documentary series that was recently pulled from Netflix, tweeted that the company shouldn't “contribute to the spread of misinformation.” In the trailer, Goop Chief Content Officer Elise Loehnen says the company tries to “explore ideas that may seem out there or too scary.” “The Goop Lab” premieres Jan. 24.
