Kim Kardashian’s latest wellness admission is sure to bring on its fair share of comments — not all of them kind.
The TV star made a surprise video appearance on the “Good Hang with Amy Poehler” podcast this week, for an episode guest-starring Paula Pell. Kardashian came on the show because she stars in the upcoming movie The Fifth Wheel, written by Pell.

Arriving on the podcast, Kardashian apologized to Amy Poehler for her appearance because she had just come from the gym (she looked fine to us, frankly). The Parks and Recreation alum piggybacked off this admission, asking the SKIMS founder about her gym routine. Kardashian explained that she does weight lifting and works with a bodybuilding coach.
When Poehler told her she knew she should do more weight-lifting for bone density reasons, Kardashian told her about the DEXA scan that her whole family does to periodically check on their bone density. The two women agreed that all the wellness to-dos are overwhelming these days, and the talk turned to supplements, including creatine.

“I take probably 35 supplements a day,” Kardashian revealed.
“Kim!” Poehler admonished her jokingly.
“I spread them out three times a day and I thought, ‘OK I can’t do this fish oil right now anymore, I have like pill fatigue. I have to stop this fish oil,'” Kardashian explained. “And I got my blood work, and it was so evident that I stopped and I had to start again.”
Poehler told her, “It is tough to take fish oil because when you take it you taste it for a long time.”
Kardashian added, “And pills are just so big. I wish there was like an IV drip I could do every day and just do it on my way to work.”
We’re not psychic, but we could have predicted there would already be a Reddit thread up about Kardashian’s admission — and shock, there is.
“Does she take supplements instead of getting her vitamins & mineral from food?” one person asked on the platform.
“Good for her and her expensive pee. Some people need certain supplements, and your physician will tell you when you do. People blindly spending hundreds on supplements is ridiculous. And I used to do it,” said someone else.
“i’m sure she has a doctor’s input but girl…😭,” added another.
Anyway, Kardashian’s revelation shouldn’t come as too big a surprise, given that her sisters and her mom are always seen getting the latest wellness shots and IVs on The Kardashians. Kourtney Kardashian also founded the supplement brand Lemme.
As for The Fifth Wheel, it stars Kardashian alongside Brenda Song, Jack Whitehall, Nikki Glaser and Will Ferrell.
