Why I Love Holistic Health Knowledge But Refuse To Be Neurotic About Chasing The Ideal
Not wanting yourself or others to be poisoned by society is a noble cause, but it’s not one you should develop an eating disorder over.
Call it “bro science,” “wives tales,” “holistic healing,” “esoteric health,” or whatever other name you’d like, if you spend any time on the internet, you’re likely to come across a wealth of health and wellness advice from anonymous (or very public) users online. Sometimes they cite peer-reviewed studies, while other times they simply rely on anecdotal evidence to prove a point. It’s the new hill they’ll die on, and in an ever-worsening attention economy where we’ve become classically trained to seek quick hits of serotonin boosts from clicks, views, comments, and likes, some people fall addicted to the chase, creating an entire persona to peddle their wellness movement.
