1 小时 5 分钟The global wellness industry is estimated at around seven trillion dollars and it's growing fast I guess you could see that as a great thing that so many people have so many resources to devote to their well-being We should say that what the industry counts
as wellness can extend pretty far from anything to do with your sleep to home cold plunges from high protein everything to biohacking with untested peptide injections from Chinese labs Before there was social media or podcasts,
books were the primary vehicle for spreading the wellness gospel.
And there's still thousands of books published in the space every year.
But the book we're talking about today has a title that may seem out of sync with the current wellness trends.
Eat your ice cream is the name.
That is Ezekiel or Zeke Emanuel.
He has been on the show before talking about GLP-1s and the dysfunctional American healthcare system.
He has been a key player in that system.
He is an oncologist, a bioethicist,
a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a policymaker who helped draft the Affordable Care Act.
In his new book,
he argues that most wellness advice today manages to be both too complicated and too simplistic.
A lot of the wellness gurus and influencers out there,
they have to get on social media daily, they have to write something,
and they make things way too complicated
because they have to have something quote unquote new to bring people back.
They're too simplistic
because most of these wellness things are just focused on the physical and sort of downplay other things.
So how does he see wellness?
