The Goop Lab (also known as The Goop Lab with Gwyneth Paltrow) is an American documentary series about the lifestyle and wellness company Goop, founded by American actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who acts as host and executive producer of the series. The series premiered on January 24, 2020 on Netflix.

The Goop Lab was nominated for two 2020 Critics Choice Real TV Awards.[1][2] The partnership with Netflix led to criticism of the streaming company for giving Gwyneth Paltrow a platform to promote her company, which has been criticized for making unsubstantiated health claims. The series presented anecdotes and experiences in place of scientifically validated facts. Some headlines called the series a "win for pseudoscience,"[3][4] while others praised the series for a positive look at women's issues[5][6][7] and its exploration of alternative medical interventions.[7][8][9]
