Listener sentiment
The Wellness Scoop continues to command a deeply loyal audience who prize Ella Mills and Rhiannon Lambert's evidence-based, warm, and non-judgmental approach to nutrition — many describe it as the highlight of their week and credit it with meaningfully improving their relationship with food. However, the most recent reviews mark a notable shift in tone: a cluster of listeners in June and July 2026 independently flagged the show's sponsorship by weight-loss injection (GLP-1) services as deeply contradictory to its anti-diet-culture messaging, with several feeling the ads undermine the hosts' credibility on the very topics they cover. One positive reviewer noted that Ella and Rhiannon had addressed the concern proactively, suggesting the feedback has been heard. Alongside the sponsorship controversy, recurring frustrations persist — hosts frequently talking over each other, a perceived plant-based bias that dismisses omnivorous diets, and occasional episodes that feel overly privileged, negative, or tilted toward parenting content rather than general wellness. While the majority of ratings remain glowing, these criticisms have grown more concentrated and pointed in the recent window, indicating that previously noted concerns are intensifying rather than fading.
