- — A heavily pixelated, blurred-out face of a man — before he exposes something controversial about the supplement industry.
- — A grainy, black and white close-up of a doctor's face — before they reveal something uncomfortable about the fitness coaching world.
- — A digitally scrambled shot of a talking head — before they say something that the weight loss industry doesn't want you to hear.
