Rectal ozone.

Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that the weirdest wellness thing she's ever done is rectal ozone therapy, a procedure where the powerful gas is delivered via catheter into the colon.

'I have used ozone therapy, rectally. Can I say that?' the 50-year-old Oscar winner said on Monday's episode of Dear Media podcast The Art of Being Well.

'It's pretty weird. It's pretty weird, yeah. But it's been very helpful.'

Benefits of rectal ozone therapy are said to be reduced pain/inflammation, increased energy, improved metabolism/circulation, stimulated immune system, detoxification, anti-aging, and fighting bacterial/viral infections.

Gwyneth's wellness journey also has her consuming ketone drinks, which The Art of Being Well host said tasted like 'cherry gasoline.'

So she’s blowing hot air up her ass?

Hot air in and out.

Isn't she the same one that doesn't use deodorant and is terrified of messing up her vaginal flora?

Now there's a couple of words I haven't heard (together) in a few years.

Thanks for reminding me why I didn't go into OB/GYN.

When I sold wine on weekends, the last thing I wanted at the end of the day was a glass of wine. I suspect gynecology works much the same way.

All this follow your passion stuff is crap. It’s a great way to turn your passion to drudgery.

Yep. I have had this exact conversation with countless guys at bar… “My dream job would be a gynecologist, Hyuck, hyuck, hyuck…” “Really? Who do you think you would see more, Naomi over there, or Bertha over there? My bet is you will see Bertha 4-5 times more often than a Naomi, and when you do see Naomi, it’s going to be because something’s wrong… Some kind of stanky, cheesy puss coming out. Still want to be a gyno?”

There’s even a country tune for this:
