The Marketing of Wellness

The health & wellness (physical/mental) and self-help spaces have been the topic of MANY conversations so far in 2025. The promises of magic pills, cure-all supplements, and life-changing theories seem to be everywhere. Is there truth behind them, even if the nuance is missing, or are they just hype?In perhaps their most unhinged episode yet - featuring a bad mood, the tale of getting lost in a grocery store, and a doomed creativity workshop - hosts Beth and Joyce share their opinions on these much-discussed industries and why they might not deliver what you had hoped for. They chat about what motivates people to follow these trends, experience vs. expertise (and whether qualifications matter), and why we all need to be a bit more skeptical.About Your Hosts: Beth is a licensed, Ph.D. clinical psychologist with 40+ years of experience treating patients of all ages. Joyce is a millennial just trying to figure it all out.Note:Advice and opinions on this show should not be considered as treatment.
