Video Description

The “wellness industry” is a consumer category that promises us a better life through the consumption of very specific products and services ranging from mindfulness apps, health supplements, skin care routines, or the good old cold plunge. These products range from kind of misleading to literal scams and they’re making billions of dollars in the process.
