Wellness Needs a Reality Check

We’ve all seen it — the glossy promises, the “miracle” hacks, the viral pseudoscience dressed up as wellness.

Since the pandemic, conspiracy theories have crept into the wellness space faster than any cold plunge trend. One of the latest? “MedBeds” — alleged military (or even alien!) healing devices claiming to reverse aging and cure every disease through “good frequencies.”

But that’s not all. Other fake wellness movements gaining traction include:
🧬 “DNA activation” sessions promising to unlock “dormant” strands of DNA for higher consciousness — a claim with zero scientific support. Read more →
💧 Raw water, sold as “pure” and “natural,” but often contaminated with bacteria and parasites. Cleveland Clinic explains why here →
🌞 Sun-gazing, the dangerous notion that staring directly at the sun can replace food or heal disease (it can actually cause permanent eye damage). Medical News Today debunks it →

🚫 It’s not just misinformation — it’s dangerous disconnection.
When wellness becomes detached from science, trust erodes and people get hurt.

So here’s the challenge:
👉 What can we, as leaders and consumers, do to amplify evidence-based wellness — and make it the most desirable trend of all?
