    Sad
    I use to love listening to this show but now it's about politics and slanting towards conspiracies. Saddens me because Jillian use to offer great advice and encouragement. Now it's just another bro show.

    Beautiful Bridge
    Love Dave Rubin. Just found your podcast. So grateful for a beautiful successful woman seeking the truth, with wellness and freedom at the helm. God bless you

    Impossible to listen
    Was super excited to see podcast with Dr.Attia. IBut only could manage maybe 15 minutes of it even though HRT topic is hot right now. Michaels was interrupting, making weird sounds, extending words in a strange way, laughing when not really anything funny, it was just hard to keep concentrated and had to switch to someon else. I do not find her a good podcaster.

    The Dems need a hostile takeover
    Thank you for having a respectful and sane political conversation. I appreciate Cenk and yourself for providing FACTS; and even when you didn’t agree, it was amicable. Thank you, Cenk, for calling BOTH parties out and being fair. I come from a Democratic family but I am a Republican. I get turned off when neither party is willing to see their corruption and shortcomings. Because Cenk was being fair, I listened and learned a lot. We need a lot more of these types of conversations. I would love to see him as a return guest.

    Miss the old show
    I am a long time Jillian fan, but I really don’t understand what is happening to this podcast. Where is the health and fitness information that I come to her for?? I miss the fun back and forth she used to have with Janice and the other members of her team and I hate that this show is suddenly all about politics. Although I agree that broadening our news sources is important, I am hoping that with the election over she will go back to having guests that can discuss fitness and nutrition and mental health again, and maybe put the politics in the hot takes if she really feels a need to talk about them.

    AMAZING!
    You are on FIRE! Never stop giving us the truth. ❤️
  • MrsWolgemuth
    Where is Janis?
    We need Janis! Very republican view point.
  • The Barre Lady
    So well researched
    I love how well researched Jillian is. She ALWAYS does her homework. Love that she is always bringing the most important issues and information to light. Thank you so much Jillian for never backing down and for fighting for truth and transparency!
  • Amused44
    Used to be fun!
    Loved her when she and Janice would have fun with exchanges of relatable anecdotes. I was an obsessive listener and, while I would question some of Jillian’s conclusions, I always appreciated her thorough investigation of topics related to exercise and nutrition. I purchased all of her early books and had all of her exercise videos (they were really good, by the way). She always knew when to say “I don’t know what I don’t know” and could relay information in an easy to digest manner. But something happened. Her show is almost unrecognizable to me. Bizarro conspiracy stuff. Weird political assertions. It’s sad. Now I question her expertise on all topics—she comes across as a wanna be Joe Rogan-type grifter. Trust is hard to gain but super easy to lose. I’m done with this one.
  • MichelleRN
    Financial planner knows all
    How is Patrick an authority on the wacky theory of deep state or anything social? Jillian is getting more and more inauthentic…. And Meghan Kelly? Shrill and attention seeking? More and more non experts, non educated propaganda
  • Willowzheart
    Absolutely keeping it real
    She doesn’t miss a beat. Health is important to her, so much so, she dives into controversial subjects that many are afraid to discuss. She brings real authority, real scientists, real knowledgeable people to have that hard conversation.
  • Kathy boo boo
    Changed
    Missed the old days with exercise and nutrition info and laughs with Janice

    Jillian Crushing It.
    Thank you for keeping it real. Your podcast provides a refreshing mix of kindness, insight, and valuable guidance on wellness and personal growth. Your genuine, no-nonsense approach breaks down complex topics with clarity, making the podcast not only educational but also motivating. It has inspired me to take control of my well-being and consider different perspectives on various issues.
  • H.e.4
    Stick to Nutrition
    Your expertise on calories in/calories out has been antiquated for a long time making your podcast pretty obsolete, but putting on a podcast about politics is just laughable.
  • Beckster503
    You used to be so cool
    Now you’re just talking right wing conspiracies. Guess I need to throw out all the books and videos. Canceling my subscription to your app ASAP. So disappointed you didn’t just stick to health and fitness. Just nuts.
  • Airtraveler
    Jillian You Are Real.
    I just discovered this podcast and enjoying to while also learning a great deal. I don’t understand why other reviewers are getting political about it. It’s really not a left or right matter. I just want information and the truth.
  • TaterFly22
    Nope
    I think I’m done. You used to create compelling content on things that you are an expert on that could help people. Now you are pretending to be an expert on things and potentially harming people. Super disappointing.
  • Treder, W.
    Spotlight on Women’s Health
    Great episode with Dr. Attia! I appreciate the conversation about women’s health, specifically HRT, and PCOS. As there isn’t enough research about women’s health. Today, women have to conduct their own research to ensure their well being is not being wronged. Which, makes your talks refreshing. Thank you!

    Disappointed
    I’m really shocked and disappointed at the turn this show has taken. I used to come here to focus on good habits and as a way to Improve my mental health as well as physical. I am really disappointed that this show has taken a political turn.
  • Anonymous_One
    Why did you change the format?
    Again. Why did you change the format? You must have known, or I would have hoped been advised, that you could potentially alienate 1/2 your fan base by the change of direction of the podcast. I wish you all the luck and appreciate your fitness and nutrition knowledge but I will stick to fitness app. You and Janis had something.
  • MrsSmith208
    Love Jill
    I love Jill and the Pod. I’m so hoping she will bring back the fun chit chat from time to time (one episode a month??). More of Jill just being Jill please!
  • ALGrzina
    I'm here for the fitness. Or was.
    Stay in your lane, Jillian. You have a wealth of experience to share with regards to fitness and nutrition and you've inspired so many people to change their lives through fitness so why are you doing political podcasts? The one that just dropped about the California fires is straight out of Trump's playbook and it is nonsense. I'm unsubscribing.
  • bpatty63
    Keeping it real
    I totally respect the fact that Jillian is willing to question the narrative and ask tough questions. I love her brutal honesty.

    Bill O’Reilly
    An absolutely fascinating interview with Bill O’Reilly. Extremely great questions to O’Reilly. I encourage all to listen to it. So informative too
  • Luvpods
    Jillian NOOOOO
    I have followed and loved Jillian since BL. Even when she wasn’t popular. Listened to her podcast ages and ages ago. YouTube sent me the BL episode and I forgot how much I loved Jillian. I then was curious as to why Megyn Kelly was a guest? Started to listen and I’m gobsmacked. As a queer woman with a black child HOW could you vote for a man who said that black people ate pets, and who does not show any love to the LGBTQ+ community? Who loves a man who wants to remove the Polio vaccine. Voted for a man who is a literal criminal who has raped multiple women. Unsubscribing one day after re-subscribing. I’m so sad and disappointed. Yes there are bad on both sides, but this is inexcusable to me. Sorry Jill.
  • Nalamunson
    Genuine and Honest
    I love this podcast! Jillian is open and honest. She says it like it is and doesn’t hold back. I love the different topics. Thank you!!
  • I Am!!
    Great info
    So glad you are putting this out!!
  • Carazona5
    Informative and inspiring!
    Thank you Jillian for speaking truth and staying true to who you are! So refreshing right now to listen to this podcast and hear a level head in such a crazy time. It’s not easy and we appreciate you for it! The amount of crying liberals in this review section is embarrassing. There are other valid viewpoints people. 🙄 it will all be ok. Calm down please.
  • Hftkni34679&(medla
    Love the new topics
    I started listening to Jillian Michael’s podcast once in a while back when she was primarily covering health and fitness. I was surprised to see the change to more politically related topics, but I’m here for it. As an independent who leans right it’s absolutely delicious to see a lefty wake up to how corrupt the democrats have been and how much they lied to us about COVID. For the people who leave reviews on here, not liking it at all, well, this is her podcast and she can do what she wants with it. If you don’t like it, listen to someone else. I’m sure her change of topics will bring in new people. Keep up the good work Jillian. The episode with Ron Johnson was mind blowing and infuriating.
  • Satahbobera2015
    No longer health focused
    I used to love JM show. A good mix of health & social commentary. Now it’s only about political stuff. I get politics from other places, that was not why I tuned into JM. I’m going to vote with my feet & unfollow. I’m sad to see it end, I’ve been listening since my kids were born in 2011!
  • McN
    Guess fitness isn’t paying so well anymore?
    What a disappointment you are. I have really loved you regarding fitness, but you deciding to go to the despicable side is heart breaking. Yes there are extreme nutballs on both sides, but you are digging in because obviously this is where you want to make some money I guess. What a sell out. Guess you’re just getting on the sweet sweet right wing grift. I used to love your podcast. So so so disappointing.
  • Built by S
    New listener and so much love for this podcast
    I have thoroughly enjoyed Jillian‘s take, and her guest! This is a fabulous podcast and look forward to more!!
  • WoW don't be that app
    Thanks for sharing all points of view.
    Great podcast for people who want to hear compelling views that aren’t always covered by the main stream media.
  • Itsmissape
    Went way downhill
    Been listening to her podcast and enjoying it for years. Turned it on from a few month’s hiatus, due to traveling and working, and I had terrible flashbacks of sitting in my grandmother’s kitchen, listening to Rush Limbaugh. Oof. Unfollow. Stay in your lane!!
  • dan78209
    Let guess speak
    Listened to multiple episodes and overall I really enjoy them but she has tendency of cutting iff her guests. The episode on ozempic was ridiculous how she wouldn’t let the doctors finish any statement. I was really interested in what they had to say and then she would go a tirade.
  • Kelly27!
    Disappointed
    Really enjoyed the podcast when Janice was on and the focus was on fitness. Have stopped listening since she shifted to issues outside of her expertise.
  • Nacho wizard
    What is happening?
    Jillian, I love you. You speak the truth when it comes to diet, fitness, and healthy living. You are not afraid to speak your mind and are a great resource in the longevity and wellness space! So why have you suddenly become a Fox News correspondent? We are not listening to this podcast to hear about failed Ukraine policies or critical race theory. Please go back to what you do best: health and wellness.
  • Dtzifxgtixi
    Brainwashed Nut Job
    What happened to the Jillian we used to know? This one has been drinking the MAGA Koolaid. She tells others to be open to other viewpoints but she never mentions anything left-leaning. It’s not balanced. Cannot listen anymore and I refuse to use her workouts anymore. A woman who hates other women, minorities, and the LGBT Community has no place in my life.
  • Laurie Kirk
    Please let guests talk
    Please allow the guest to speak and stop interrupting and making noises. Thank you.
  • pinacoloda
    Right wing nut job
    Where did the Jillian we used to know go? Awful

    Thank you for your honest take on the heath of Americans. Love your candor.
  • Amy8797
    Yikes
    This is actually obnoxious. You’re bringing guests on the show to yell over them the entire time. I just waisted 1 hour 21 minutes and learned absolutely nothing. I used to really enjoy this show. But this isn’t it anymore.
  • ManalZoo
    Host cannot let guest speak
    Joined to listen to debate but the host cannot let the guest finish a thought without speaking over their guests. It makes the podcast unlistenable.
  • anpf23
    Obnoxious & Offensive
    I don’t know why she bothers having a podcast if she won’t let her guests get a word in edgewise. Also, as a woman with her face all over unregulated “cleanses” & “fat burners” she has some nerve running off at the mouth about FDA approved medications. If the Biggest Loser didn’t prove that she has zero compassion & zero understanding of the metabolic disease process of obesity this podcast certainly does. Do yourself a favor & look up the Kevin Hall studies of biggest loser contestants before taking any advice from her.
  • Liza182
    Helpful
    Michaels is always helpful when it comes to health. Glad to see she is becoming a voice in changing our food supply. I do have a critique in that she often doesn’t allow the guest to finish their thought. Please stop interrupting so much.
  • kwtw
    Disgusting
    Very longtime listener. Truly upset at the direction Jillian has gone. Goodbye to all your content in my podcast app! I’m selling all my JM workouts.
  • FemaleBossFitness
    Great show but
    Low the show and the guest, but oftentimes can’t hear the guests response due to taking over them and when you are having the “ah-ha” moment.
  • JennyO131313
    Love Your Candor
    While I appreciate your health and exercise tips I actually find your shows even more interesting when you are covering other topics. I love how candid you are about all the other topics you are now covering from eliminating free speech, to the Covid vaccine being forced on people. Thankful that you are able to use this platform to talk about these issues that are heavily filtered or deleted on social media or in the news. Keep it up! Love listening to you!
