It was clear from the start the unconventional content featured in the show would bring up some strong emotions from some audiences, and these tweets about The Goop Lab capture those feelings well.

Each episode of The Goop Lab follows Paltrow and her team as they investigate a different wellness topic (including psychedelic drugs, breathing techniques, sexual pleasure, unique diets, energy healing, and universal psychic ability). Each episode contains three parts: Paltrow interviewing various experts about the topic, Goop employees testing it out, and real-life people explaining how it worked for them.

Dr. Jen Gunter, an OB/GYN and author of The Vagina Bible told Bustle the series covered "unscientific, unproven, potentially harmful therapies," and even viewers without medical backgrounds had some strong thoughts about what they were seeing.

Science aside, Twitter had a field day discussing all the techniques Paltrow and the Goop staffers were willing to subject themselves to:
