Is the wellness industry just for the privileged?
Briefly

Is the wellness industry just for the privileged?
"In this episode of The Stream, we bring together a holistic retreat leader who believes true health begins with alignment of mind, body, and spirit, and a science-driven doctor who insists that only data defines real healing. Together, they debate whether ancient practices and modern science can coexist or if the future of health is destined to be divided between belief and biology."
"As the wellness industry grows into a $6 trillion force, we ask, is this the future of healing or a profitable illusion?"
"Presenter: Stefanie Dekker Guests: Winnie Cohen Abraham Wellness instructor Dr Michael Mrozinski Emergency department and general practice"
The wellness industry has expanded into a $6 trillion market, raising questions about its role in health. A holistic retreat leader asserts that true health starts with alignment of mind, body, and spirit and emphasizes ancient practices and personal belief. A science-driven doctor emphasizes that measurable data and clinical evidence are the only reliable indicators of healing and safety. The two perspectives confront whether ancient modalities and modern scientific methods can integrate or whether health care will split into belief-based wellness and evidence-based medicine. Commercial motivations, outcomes, and patient well-being form central tensions in this debate.
