The vodka/meth diet! Look so good, be so unhealthy! Thank goodness I only lived this way for about 3-4 years (still too long), and didn’t get the meth face or teeth that are so prevalent.
It’s scary how good I looked, and how many compliments I got, and that was addictive in itself.

OMG a guy friend of mine did that!

Yes! There is a lot that can be fixed before exercise is even a blip on the radar.

“The practice of wellness, which stems from Ayurvedic disease prevention dating back to 3000 B.C. India,”

I would add easy access to nature for everyone. That was the point of Central Park. Yes, some people got to live right next to it, but everyone could access the park and get away from the noise and cramped living conditions. 

This needs to be sung to the heavens. I fell into a hole of “wellness warrior” blogs preaching restrictive diets to heal disease, and the single truth that has been seeping in over time is how thoroughly they see health not as as a group responsibility, but an individual conceit- they’ll give you cricket flour recipes…

Oh man, I can’t wait to hear which East Asian culture you have filtered into vague platitudes and meaningless rituals!

That’s cause you’re using that fake wellness crap. Subscribe to my channel and follow me on twitter and instagram, and I’ll teach the true path to wellness.

I had a personal trainer that I just loved. He was training for the Olympic bobsled team and I had just moved to town and basically had no friends. I think this was before I got a computer too, so I didn’t even have internet chat when I wasn’t at work. He understood my fitness goals - we did a ton of power lifts…

Right? If you want to eat healthier foods, that’s not a state secret. If you want to get more exercise, there are many ways to do that. If you want to address deep-rooted issues, there’s therapy.

Ways to significantly increase Wellness:

I’m old enough to remember all the New Age woo shit and then watched it morph into “wellness.”

Ditto.  Though also a fairly accurate description of the “Wellness” industry

Because “wellness” is a heapin’ helpin’ of horseshit.

Sexism in the pseudosciences adds insult to injury.

Why is there a picture of a giant turd for the story?

The pic says it all, ‘wellness’ is a steaming pile of - er, a stack of rocks. 

Is the picture intended to make me think of a hand holding a pile of shit?

“There is no singular formula to deliver emotional wellness to a client nor is there a course or certification to equip a trainer with every single tool necessary to combat every potential emotional scenario that may arise.”

But can it still be used for grifting?
