The health world is awash with what is sometimes referred to, a bit too politely in my opinion, as “woo”; a highly skeptical term used to describe health, spiritual, and lifestyle practices that fall outside the realm of warranted evidence. These unproven clunkers include drinking raw milk, teatoxes, microdosing, colonics, carnivore diets, mouth taping for sleep, supplements like glutathione, most chelation therapies, methylene blue and almost everything sold by the queen of wellness, Gwyneth Paltrow’s, staggeringly profitable Goop.
Not only is the corrupt wellness industry evidence-free it is laser-focused on the rich….Whether it is taking supplements, magnetizing your head daily, cycling to work or learning to cook proponents of wellness have one thing in common—it is up to you to do something….In autonomy crazed America each person is their own engine of health which is not an accurate outlook. Living downwind of the petrochemical plant, on a landfill, next to a data center pumping out pollutants or under a busy airport flight path makes staying healthy by jogging a mile every other day and avoiding binge drinking far less impactful.
