Wellmania: Extreme Misadventures in the Search for Wellness

• Brigid exposes the commodification of the Wellness industry, and explore what it is about modern life that result in our tendency to swing between hedonism and health.

• The drive for wellness and the clean, lean and serene life has led to orthorexia, a term for an eating disorder characterised by a fixation with healthy eating.

• The first ever Goop Summit this year drew mass criticism for being "a prohibitively expensive, celebrity-studded self-help salon".
