How to Build an Intentional Wellness Budget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wow. We started The Real Cost of Wellness series EIGHT weeks ago, and today, we finally reach the finish line. If you’ve been along for the entire ride, you know the difference between spending on your health and spending on your anxiety; how the wellness industry pulls on fear, complexity, and identity to get to your wallet; whether the organic premium is worth paying; that the grocery store is a marketing environment; and that supplements don’t need to be FDA-approved to hit shelves. Yes, I’m
Your Grocery Cart and Your Copay Are the Same Conversation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’ve been taught to keep two completely separate accounts: the grocery bill and the healthcare bill. One is a household expense we compare, scrutinize, and optimize. While the other is ‘just the cost of having a body’. But the research tells a different story. Chronic disease is largely linked to diet, activity, sleep, and stress, and is the single biggest driver of healthcare spending in this country. Unlike your age or genetics, what you put in your grocery cart is one of the few variables yo

Read excerpt
If you’re like most of the women in this community, you probably have six to twenty supplements in your supplement drawer.

What is the 'Organic' Label Actually Selling? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever felt like you were ‘doing the right thing’ by buying organic, but cutting corners if you weren’t? Honestly, the organic label has become a moral compass, guilting people into paying extra for the exact same produce—and frankly, I’m over it. According to USDA Pesticide Data Program testing, for most produce, pesticide residue on washed conventional food falls well within established safety limits. However, marketing has led us to believe otherwise. The wellness industry built that c
The Hidden Price We Pay for Wellness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, I announced The Real Cost of Wellness series, a series meant to pull back the curtain on the real economics of eating well and living well in midlife, and here we are. Today's episode, The Real Cost of Wellness: The Wellness Tax , is where it actually starts. I've paid this tax more times than I'd like to admit. The wellness industry quietly charges every time we buy something out of fear instead of fact, and now, the global wellness industry is worth $5.6 trillion. Of course, there a
