In this episode of GlowJob, hosts Julia and Sasa sit down with Jayme Cyk — former WWD and Violet Grey beauty editor turned founder of And Repeat, a wellness brand redefining focus and mental clarity. Jayme opens up about her journey getting off ADHD medication, why she’s rejecting “biohacking” culture, and how she built a supplement brand that’s grounded in science and no judgement. 
They dive into the dark side of the wellness industry, the unregulated world of supplements, and what it means to build trust and transparency in an oversaturated market. Jayme also discusses her Substack “I’m On An Antidepressant,” her take on the Sephora Kids controversy, and why Substack might just be the new Instagram for thoughtful creators and brands alike.
From the “beige baby” aesthetic to gentle parenting and FAFO culture, this episode blends business, wellness, and motherhood with GlowJob’s signature wit.
