The Infomercial Fitness Guru Who Lost Everything | Susan Powter | History in the Dark

Susan Powter is an Australian fitness and diet specialist that rose to great fame in the 1990's due to her informercials advertising her "Stop the Insanity" diet and wellness kits. Paired with her inspirational tale of her own weight loss story, she would become quite famous for a few years, and even had her own talk show, but as quickly as she gained her popularity she fell and fell hard. By the 2010's, she was living in an RV and doing Grubhub and UberEats to make ends meet. Recently, she's made a considerable effort to regain her footing, with some help from her friend Jamie Lee Curtis, but it remains to be seen if she is able to find stability again in the future.
