Wellness Unfiltered
Learn to filter out the noise and fuel what matters most: your life.
Your best years deserve better than fad diets & frustrating symptoms.
What is Wellness Unfiltered?
A free weekly discussion group where we unpack popular media, articles, podcasts, and talks on health and nutrition. Together, we’ll cut through the noise of diet culture and wellness trends — and focus on grounded, shame-free strategies that actually support your life.
Each week, I’ll share one curated piece of media. You’ll read, listen, or watch on your own, then join me (and others) for a casual group chat where we explore what it really means for your health.
Upcoming Selections
Week 1: The Wellness-Industrial Complex
📖 Article: “The Moralization of Food” (Scientific American)
We’ll kick things off by unpacking why food gets tied to morality in media and culture — and how that impacts the way we see ourselves.
Week 2: The Problem With “Clean Eating”
🎧 Podcast: “Maintenance Phase – The Wellness to QAnon Pipeline”
This episode digs into the slippery slope of “wellness” culture, where something that starts with green smoothies can spiral into conspiracy thinking. Let’s talk about where good intentions get hijacked.
Week 3: Does Weight Equal Health?
📖 Article: “The Weight of Evidence” (The New York Times)
We’ll explore what the science actually says about weight and health — and why the picture is much more nuanced than “smaller is better.”
Week 4: Reclaiming Joy in Food
📺 TED Talk: “Why Dieting Doesn’t Usually Work” – Sandra Aamodt
A neuroscientist explains why dieting often backfires — and what it looks like to build a healthier, more joyful relationship with food.
