Bonus Episode: Just 6 Almonds: the Wildest Luxury Celebrity Retreats w/ Meredith Lynch Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

We had to drop everything to discuss The Ranch Malibu and its offset, The Ranch Italy. What's billed as a “luxury wellness retreat” loved by celebrities and regular ol' rich folk sounds more like a hellscape where you're also encouraged to lose up to “20lbs in one week!” You get 6 almonds as a snack, hike all day, and that's just skimming the surface.

Then we head over to the $10K per week ‘Behold Luxury Ayahuasca Retreat' and its myriad of issues. There was so much to unpack we barely knew where to begin.
