Energy healing, psychedelic mushrooms, psychic mediums and even exorcisms – the Netflix series Goop Lab covers them all under the multi-million rand Gwyneth Paltrow Goop brand banner. But is it all just whacky pseudoscience?

According to various sources, one being the Chief Executive of Britain’s NHS, Sir Simon Stevens, it is indeed. Speaking to Sky News he said that Gwyneth Paltrow's wellness brand promotes treatments that carry "considerable risks to health".

He is not alone. Watch this report on the controversial series by TODAY’s senior national correspondent Kate Snow.
