About Susan Powter

Susan Jane Powter is an Australian-born American motivational speaker, nutritionist, personal trainer, and author who rose to fame in the 1990s with her catchphrase "Stop the Insanity!" the centerpiece of her weight-loss infomercial. Powter has been described as a cross between Richard Simmons and Betty Friedan and "the Lenny Bruce of Wellness." She hosted her own talk show, The Susan Powter Show, in the 1990s.

Powter has been married twice. She has two sons from her first marriage. She adopted a third son after her second marriage. She later came out as a lesbian, and in a 2004 interview with Curve magazine, she described herself as a "radical feminist lesbian woman." She dated comedian Jessica Kirson in 2008.

In 2024, Powter revealed that due to the series of lawsuits in the mid-1990s and poor financial planning, she had been left virtually destitute, living in an RV and delivering food for Grubhub and Ubereats. After a health scare, she filed for Medicaid. At 66, she lived in a low-income senior community and applied for Social Security.
