The article explores how John Harvey Kellogg's work laid the groundwork for the modern wellness industry through a mix of medical advice and moralistic views, particularly towards women. His concept of biologic living sought a harmonious balance of mind, body, and spirit, though it often echoed his Seventh-day Adventist beliefs. The legacy of Kellogg’s ideas continues to resonate in today’s wellness discourse, which has evolved but still carries traces of his controversial approaches, particularly regarding health treatment and women’s sexuality.
Kellogg's ideas merged medical concepts with religious beliefs, leading to a wellness philosophy focusing on preventive health, but also promoting moralistic views detrimental to women.
John Harvey Kellogg's Battle Creek Sanitarium combined luxury with health principles, attracting elite clientele while embodying his messianic vision for health reform through so-called biologic living.
