Movies, TV and books have long featured scenes of eccentric wellness gurus and spa treatments gone wrong. Now a new slate of entertainment, including shows like “Nine Perfect Strangers” and “White Lotus,” are questioning the quest for wellness.
an HBO satire set at a Hawaiian resort whose finale aired Sunday, features a subplot that follows Tanya , a wealthy woman on a quest for healing who has come to Maui with her dead mother’s ashes.
Comedy podcast “Poog”—Goop spelled backward—launched last fall with comedians Kate Berlant and Jacqueline Novak sharing their wellness obsessions. Between them, Ms. Berlant and Ms. Novak have tried everything from the Shangri-La diet, an antitaste regimen whose participants may avoid smells by using a swimmer’s nose clip at mealtimes, to foot pads that purport to suck out toxins via the feet.
Justine Kay, with co-host Daniela Krasner, talks about the dangers of certain wellness messages on “Zen What?” The self-produced podcast unveiled last month examines the industry through the experiences of people of color rather than those of the white women often at its forefront.“There comes a lot of guilt when you’re being told the reason you can’t get thinner is because you’re not doing intuitive eating and you live in a food desert,” Ms. Kay says, referring to trends du jour.
“I see the extremes so much more often than I see the moderation—extreme thinness, extreme fitness, extreme indulgence. I think that’s a function of the internet. I don’t see moderation because it wouldn’t do well with the algorithm,” she says.Wellness bashing is an easy target these days, says Beth McGroarty, vice president of research at the Global Wellness Institute.
