Summary
Big Wellness is booming and middle-aged women are the target.
In this solo episode of The Resetter Podcast, I break down why the wellness industry has exploded, why women in midlife are especially vulnerable to being sold quick fixes, and how to stop outsourcing your health to supplements, influencers, and viral advice.
After reading a New York Times article titled "Big Wellness Loves Middle-Aged Women," I wanted to give you a framework for thinking critically about what you're being sold, whether it's a supplement, a biohack, or even a medication.
This episode is not about telling you what to buy or what to believe. It's about teaching you how to think for yourself, how to prioritize lifestyle first, how to evaluate quality and integrity, why supplements should be cycled, and why no product is ever going to replace the fundamentals.
At the end of the day, your lifestyle saves you, not a 90-second reel.
