What Not To Wellness is a myth busting podcast for the wellness curious hosted by Maria Roche, a holistic facialist and skincare expert, and Renée Haché, a restriction-free nutritionist and intuitive eating coach. Our health philosophy is science-based, but we also have a soft spot for spirituality, too.
Each episode, we’ll help you sort through all the wellness BS on the internet. We’ll give you an unfiltered, non-judgemental review of the latest trends in skincare, nutrition, and self care so you can cultivate a healthy lifestyle that’s sustainable and practical.
If you’ve ever wondered if celery juice lives up to the hype, what the heck natural skincare even is or if you should try yet another crash diet, then grab a coffee, get cozy and tune in to this week’s episode of What Not To Wellness.
Unsubscribing from Diet Culture (The Contract You Need to Cancel)
Have you ever stopped to consider just how much of your daily energy is spent “subscribing” to diet culture? In this episode, Renée and Maria unpack the metaphorical contract so many of us have unknowingly signed—a mental subscription that quietly drains our time, self-worth, and joy.
We dive into the subtle and not-so-subtle ways diet culture shows up in our lives, from the rules we follow around food and movement to the body ideals we feel pressured to chase. We talk about how to question the fine print, audit the auto-renewal, and opt out—for good.
✨ Whether you’re deep in the work of healing your relationship with food or just starting to notice the hidden costs of dieting, this conversation is your invitation to cancel what’s no longer serving you.

Collagen: The Protein That Blew Our Minds (Part Two)
We’re back with Part Two of our collagen deep dive—and we were clearly just getting warmed up last episode! 🔥
In this round, Maria and Renée go even deeper into the world of collagen: we break down the different types of collagen products on the market, from powders to skincare masks, and explore what actually works (and what’s mostly just marketing hype).
We also dig into topical collagen—can it really make a difference for your skin?—and talk about the best ways to naturally support your body’s collagen production without spending a fortune.
✨ If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the collagen options out there, or just want the real talk on what’s worth your time (and money), this episode is for you.

Collagen: The Protein That Blew Our Minds (Part One)
You’ve probably seen it everywhere—from powders to peptides, in your morning smoothie or TikTok's new favourite face mask—but how much do you really know about collagen?
In this episode, Maria and Renée dive into the science and skin-deep truth about collagen. From its role in skin elasticity to joint support and gut health, we explore both the nutritional and skincare perspectives behind this buzzy protein.
What started as a casual convo turned into some real-time "wait, WHAT?!" moments as we uncovered some wild facts while on air. Safe to say, our minds were blown and there was just too much juice to pack into one episode, so stay tuned for part two.
✨ If you've ever wondered whether collagen supplements are worth it, what actually helps your body produce more of it, or how to support your skin from the inside out, you’re in for a good one.
