Everything Wrong with the Wellness Industry Right Now

Let’s Talk About It: Wellness Trends, Anti-Aging Pressure, Coming Back to BasicsWelcome back to Be Well.In this solo episode, Alex Sublette takes an honest look at the modern wellness industry and the pressure to constantly “optimize” ourselves. From LED masks and cold plunges to anti-aging messaging and expensive self-care trends, Alex unpacks how wellness has started to feel complicated, performative, and driven more by marketing than by mental or physical health.Through personal stories and lived experience, she shares why she’s choosing to return to the basics: simple habits, natural beauty, realistic expectations, and listening to your body instead of the algorithm. Alex explores the difference between helpful tools and hype, the impact of social media on self-worth, and how true wellness is deeply personal, accessible, and rooted in self-acceptance, not perfection.🎙️ Stay connected between episodesFollow on Instagram: @be_well_with_alex / @be_well_podWatch video episodes and clips on YouTube: Be Well with AlexContent note: This episode includes discussion of eating disorder recovery, body image, and mental health.
