From dinosaur cartilage to gluten-free unicorn tears, the wellness industry has gone off the rails. Drawing from viral content creator Caitlin Murray's (@BigTimeAdulting) hilarious take on modern health advice, we unpack why women's health has become so complicated and offer practical alternatives to the supplement-heavy, social-media-driven wellness culture.
Quote of the Episode: "The best health plan is the one that you can maintain long term."
Key Insights:
- Modern wellness culture creates overwhelming and often contradictory advice
- Social media amplifies health anxiety and pressure
- The wellness industrial complex keeps adding complexity and cost
- Simple, sustainable changes often work better than extreme measures

- Family involvement can make healthy choices more sustainable
- Most health improvements require either time or money investment
- The basics (movement, whole foods, sleep) still matter most
Resources Mentioned:
- BigTimeAdulting (Caitlin Murray) on Instagram
- Australian adult physical activity statistics
- Happy Families
Action Steps for Parents:
- Focus on sustainable, long-term health habits rather than quick fixes

Speaker 1 (00:06):
I have just found the funniest woman, maybe the funniest
human on the internet over the last week or so,
and I cannot stop watching all of her stuff Instagram,
TikTok or Facebook. Wherever you want to go, you'll find
Big Time Adulting or big Time Adulting, I guess depends
on how you want to say it. Ad ultig Big
Time Adulting. Caitlin Murray is her name. She's got one
(00:28):
point seven million followers on Instagram, and today I want
to share with you and then listen to Kylie rant
about what might be the funniest thing that I funniest Kylie,
is it funny or is it just real?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Well? I think it depends on which side of the
fence you're on, because somehow I get the feeling you
think it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And I'm getting a sense from your tone that you don't.
Welcome to the Happy Families podcast, Real Parenting Solutions every
day on Australia's most downloaded parenting podcast. We are justin
and Kylie Colson, I'm not going to talk anymore, just
going to play this The right thing from Kitelin Mari
at Big Time adult Ting that landed on Instagram a
little over a week two weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Hey it is Did you do your best to eat
kale and cut out alcohol during the decade of January
and notice absolutely zero difference? Well that's because it just
doesn't work that way anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You can't just eat healthier and expect to lose weight
these days, say with the times idiot is not calories
and calories out anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Okay, we have a new system for you. Now. By
the way, you're still going to need to remain in
a chloric deficit in order to lose weight. Okay, pay attention.
It's very straightforward. Also, your husband is still going to
crush it.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Using the old system, so this doesn't apply to him,
only to you, Okay, So just don't share this with him.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
It's not You're going to need supplements. Wage supplements you ask,
every single one of them.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Creating magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin B, foll eight lions, main
evening primrose, collagen peptides, chicken soup, motoroil.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Hormone which hormones you ask? Nobody knows. Okay, we can't
measure it.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Your hormones are on spring break for the next two years,
going buck wild.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
It's a very easy formula.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Okay, just take all of these supplements in the right
combinations and amounts to maximize your results.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
It's either that or perfect lighting. We haven't quite narrowed
down yet. We're also going to need to lit up
on protein. Ask someone on the internet how much protein
in a day would kill you, and then subtract ten grams.
That's going to be your number right there.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
This is going to seem like a lot, but if
you don't eat it, whatever microscopic amount of muscle you
have left on your body is going to disappear and
you're going to break your hip.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
It's science. So get to the gym.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Okay, find the person with the most amount of muscles
there and start a competition with them.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Muscle burns fat, and you don't have any muscles at
your steps.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You have plenty of time to do all this between
your kids, your job, your dog, your husband. Okay, there
are probably like five to seven women out there doing
this that we know of every day.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I hate the rains women can do it all. You
say you can't.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It just proves how lazy you are as saying you
need to get nine hours of sleep every night or
none of this is going to work and lower your stress.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Your cortisol levels are going to kill you. I'm a
cottage cheese to learn more.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Kalie, I'm just cracking up when I listen to that
and you're sitting there with your eyes closed like you've
got a headache. She's so dead pan, she's so funny.
I just want to quote her funny lines back for
the next ten minutes on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I just want to cry the whole idea that your
husband will crush it using the old system. But it
doesn't matter. We have been on this health fixed for
the last three months. You have lost seven kilos? What
have I lost?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
It depends on a day.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I go to bed and I may wake up and
have put on a kilo and a half. And what
a time I wake up.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
We've almost I did nothing but sleep, We've almost stopped snacking.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Don't drink alcohol, eating kale.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You are plant based except for the oreos. Are oreos
plant based.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I had a moment of weakness today, but for three months.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Five to seven women. Can I just de.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Decade of January? It feels like I have been doing
this forever. It feels like I've been doing this for
Apra and there is no light at the end of
the tunnel.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So I listened to that, and I love the delivery.
I love what she says. It's so funny. Well, women
can do it all, and if you can't do it all,
you're just being lazy.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
At nine hours of sleep.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
As much as it made me laugh.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Lower your stress like it's a choice.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
They're going, it's so hard, and it's so unfair.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It's not calories in or calories out anymore. You've got
to stay in a chloric.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I love the line about going to the gym, find
out how much protein per day is going to kill you,
and then take off ten grams eat that start a
competition with the fittest, muscliest, strongest person in the gym.
The motor oil got me and I was when I
saw the motor oil, I was thinking, I'm surprised that
she didn't mention that if you're not taking dinosaur cartilage
mixed with unicorn tears, are you even trying gluten free
(04:51):
unicorn tears as well, because I'm sure that they are
very very helpful for your tiredness.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Have you even cut gluten out?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah? Yeah, A couple of serious things here, the modern
wellness industrial complex is causing overwhelm, and I think that's
really what she's getting at. I don't know if this
has happened in your feet or not, but as we've
gone on our health kick, I've sent you more than
a few reels about things that we could be doing
to be ultra healthy and ultra on it and ultra
(05:18):
doing the stuff that we're supposed to be doing. And
I don't know how well we're doing with that, but
we're doing better than we've done years. Like we're really trying,
but you just can't do it all. And social media
is trying to make us healthier, but it's making us
more and more tense and more and more worried about
the stuff that we're doing to our bodies.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The idea that you have to just take all of
these supplements and she lists them all off, and obviously
motor oil is in there, and so as line was made.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, but not dinosaur cartilage and unicorns is I've thought
I was being so creative when I came up with
that gluten free.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But it's so true, Like everywhere you turn, someone's telling
you that you need another supplement because it's going to
make you healthy and strong.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
How many of those those multi level marketing things have
you signed up for because that's the thing that's going
to help you to lose those kilos or get your
arteries cleaned out, or make your mental health sore or whatever.
It is, like somebody's always got this answer, and yet
it just feels like it's more pressure, more cost, more stress,
and it isn't working. After the break because I'm not
(06:20):
living this hell that perry menopausal women are. I've got
a couple of very sensible suggestions that I think might help.
You can tell me whether they're good suggestions or not.
I'm feeling a little bit nervous.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I'll get the.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Okay, we've just listened to Big Time Adulting or big
Time Adulting because sometimes people say it differently. Caitlin Murray.
You can find her on all of the social media
is if you need more of that in your life.
You know what, she is really really great. I've laughed
so much watching her content. Here's my number one tip.
The best health plan is the one that you can
maintain long term.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So eating kale all day every day is not going
to work.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I don't know, can you eat kale every day? Long term?
Is it working for you? You like the taste of kale?
The text is a bit it's kind of dry. It
needs something on it, I reckon. I like the way
that we're doing it in the oven with the oil
and the salt. Probably not the healthiest way to consume kale,
but it tastes really good. The best health plan is
the one that you can maintain long term.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
So along with that, I'm actually going to say, you've
got to drown out all the voices because everyone's got
a solution, and you've got to go with the one
that feels right for you.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah. Yeah, there's a great irony in what I'm about
to say, But I genuinely believe that as much as
I got this from social media, and as much as
we all consume it one way or another, I think
that the best health plan also involves getting social media
out of our lives. I just it keeps us up
late at night. It stresses our brains. It keeps our
(07:58):
brains fully active and fully stimulated all the time. We
don't get the downtime for that thing in our brain
called the default mode network to activate. That's the thing
that does stuff when our brains don't have to be on,
but social media just keeps our brains on all the time.
I reckon, if we can stop snacking on social media,
stop snacking on those empty calories, and stop drinking our calories,
(08:21):
and if we can just move our body each day
a little bit like the I think something like seventy
five percent of Australian adults don't even move twenty minutes
per day. That is so far below anything that's loosely
healthy for us. If we can just do those three
things and get some decent sleep, I reckon that's probably
going to be sufficient. But again, the best health plans
(08:45):
the one that you can maintain long term. Here's my
second idea, Kylie, make healthy choices a family activity, not
a solo burden.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
So this can be a little bit tricky, and we've
experienced it with our kids over the years as we've
tried to improve our eating plan or our fitness levels.
That if it's not the norm, there's a lot of pushback.
Kids aren't excited about getting up early to go for
a morning run or going for a morning swim or whatever,
(09:15):
and they're definitely not interested when they've got a plateful
of kale. So While your advice is definitely it's just
great enough spot on, it does present some challenges. But
as we've gone through that process, I think the biggest
thing for us is just we try new things in
our house. And so we've put a couple of cookbooks
(09:39):
which I've really really enjoyed, and what we've done with
it is I've just said, we're going to try each
recipe in this book once. If we love it, it
will go into rotation. But if we don't, we never
have to have this again. Let's just give it one go.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, I'm thinking extending on what Eitlin said and your
response to her Instagram real and I'm thinking about what
you're saying about taking on the responsibility of trying some
new foods or trying some new activities and making it
family oriented. It's still extra stuff. It still requires effort.
(10:16):
The thing is, I just think in life, there's stuff
that is bought and there's stuff that is earned. Okay,
let me use a really blunt example. Let's talk about
a zepic, this weight loss drug. You give yourself an
injection every day you lose weight. You don't earn it,
you buy it. And I don't think that you value it,
or prize it or honor it nearly as much, not
(10:37):
to the people around you. Whereas if you do the
stuff where you earn it, you just feel better about
yourself and you start to increase your power. And it's
the difference between purchasing progress versus earning progress, takeaway food
versus home cooked food. That kind of thing. Right.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Whenever we make a decision, though, there's a tradeoff, and
the trade off is money or time. Literally, you either
buy something or you have to invest the time. So
you're investing money or you're investing time. Sometimes you're investing posts.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, But when it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Comes down to it, like you said, takeaway meal money
or making a home cooked meal is our time. If
we want to be healthy, we can either pay for
the drugs to do it fast and quick efficient, or
we can invest the time.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Which means waking up at four forty every day so
you can go for that bike ride or go to
the gym, or go for that walk or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It is, so that we can do it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Okay, so our time is up. What is the take
home message when you think about what Big Time Adulting
has said. Caitlin has said in this and you think
about your response and the fact that we've got so
many parents who are listening to this, going, yep, I'm
pretty well done that that was me or a t
take home.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Message Number one, you're not alone.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I thought you're going to say five or seven women
can do it, going, you've been lazy, You're not alone.
I love it.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We're all in this together. Be gentle and kind on yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
You know, once upon a time we might have been
a size two. We're not size twos anymore, and that's okay.
But get out, live a healthy lifestyle, fuel your body
with good whole foods, and you're.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Going to feel much better, and just involve the family
and what you're doing. I think that's that's the takeout
message for me, especially when I think about what our
podcast is all about and what our lives are all about. Hey,
thanks so much for listening. We hope that you found
that enjoyable. We hope that it gave you a chuckle.
And also we were serious enough and useful enough to
give you at least something looking like resembling a way forward.

per day. That is so far below anything that's loosely
healthy for us. If we can just do those three
things and get some decent sleep, I reckon that's probably
going to be sufficient. But again, the best health plans
(08:45):
the one that you can maintain long term. Here's my
second idea, Kylie, make healthy choices a family activity, not
a solo burden.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
So this can be a little bit tricky, and we've
experienced it with our kids over the years as we've
tried to improve our eating plan or our fitness levels.
That if it's not the norm, there's a lot of pushback.
Kids aren't excited about getting up early to go for
a morning run or going for a morning swim or whatever,
(09:15):
and they're definitely not interested when they've got a plateful
of kale. So While your advice is definitely it's just
great enough spot on, it does present some challenges. But
as we've gone through that process, I think the biggest
thing for us is just we try new things in
our house. And so we've put a couple of cookbooks
(09:39):
which I've really really enjoyed, and what we've done with
it is I've just said, we're going to try each
recipe in this book once. If we love it, it
will go into rotation. But if we don't, we never
have to have this again. Let's just give it one go.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, I'm thinking extending on what Eitlin said and your
response to her Instagram real and I'm thinking about what
you're saying about taking on the responsibility of trying some
new foods or trying some new activities and making it
family oriented. It's still extra stuff. It still requires effort.
(10:16):
The thing is, I just think in life, there's stuff
that is bought and there's stuff that is earned. Okay,
let me use a really blunt example. Let's talk about
a zepic, this weight loss drug. You give yourself an
injection every day you lose weight. You don't earn it,
you buy it. And I don't think that you value it,
or prize it or honor it nearly as much, not
(10:37):
to the people around you. Whereas if you do the
stuff where you earn it, you just feel better about
yourself and you start to increase your power. And it's
the difference between purchasing progress versus earning progress, takeaway food
versus home cooked food. That kind of thing. Right.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Whenever we make a decision, though, there's a tradeoff, and
the trade off is money or time. Literally, you either
buy something or you have to invest the time. So
you're investing money or you're investing time. Sometimes you're investing posts.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, But when it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Comes down to it, like you said, takeaway meal money
or making a home cooked meal is our time. If
we want to be healthy, we can either pay for
the drugs to do it fast and quick efficient, or
we can invest the time.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Which means waking up at four forty every day so
you can go for that bike ride or go to
the gym, or go for that walk or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It is, so that we can do it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Okay, so our time is up. What is the take
home message when you think about what Big Time Adulting
has said. Caitlin has said in this and you think
about your response and the fact that we've got so
many parents who are listening to this, going, yep, I'm
pretty well done that that was me or a t
take home.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Message Number one, you're not alone.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I thought you're going to say five or seven women
can do it, going, you've been lazy, You're not alone.
I love it.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We're all in this together. Be gentle and kind on yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
You know, once upon a time we might have been
a size two. We're not size twos anymore, and that's okay.
But get out, live a healthy lifestyle, fuel your body
with good whole foods, and you're.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Going to feel much better, and just involve the family
and what you're doing. I think that's that's the takeout
message for me, especially when I think about what our
podcast is all about and what our lives are all about. Hey,
thanks so much for listening. We hope that you found
that enjoyable. We hope that it gave you a chuckle.
And also we were serious enough and useful enough to
give you at least something looking like resembling a way forward.
