Ryde: x Heidi Montag Team Up to Challenge Wellness Extremes

— May 15, 2025 — Marketing
Ryde: x Heidi Montag are leading the charge in the brand’s bold U.S. debut with a cheeky, no-nonsense campaign titled 'Wellbeing Made Easier.' The global wellness shot brand has partnered with reality TV icon and mom-of-two Heidi Montag to challenge the overcomplicated, high-effort routines dominating today’s wellness culture -- with a humorous, refreshingly real alternative.

The campaign features a trio of over-the-top skits, including 'Zap My T*ts,' 'Goat Yoga Relax,' and 'Crystal Booth Energize,' that parody popular wellness trends. Each piece positions Ryde:’s lineup of 2oz zero-calorie shots -- ENERGIZE, FOCUS, and RELAX -- as effortless, science-backed solutions that fit real life, not influencer fantasy. Montag’s unfiltered humor drives home the message that feeling good doesn’t need to be a chore, and wellbeing should meet you where you are.

Now available online and at select retailers, Ryde: is bringing a taste-driven, ingredient-forward approach to functional supplements with powerhouse ingredients like green tea caffeine, L-theanine, B vitamins, and chamomile.
