From the paradigm-shifting author of Anti-Diet comes a deep dive
into the underbelly of modern wellness culture and how it stands in
the way of true well-being. "It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle."
You've probably heard this phrase from any number of people in the
wellness space. But as Christy Harrison reveals in her latest book,
wellness culture promotes a standard of health that is often both
unattainable and deeply harmful. Many people with chronic illness
understandably feel dismissed or abandoned by the healthcare system
and find solace in alternative medicine, as Harrison once did. Yet
the wellness industry promotes practices that can cause even more
damage than the conventional approaches they're meant to replace.
The Wellness Trap delves into the persistent, systemic problems
with the industry, shedding light on how a growing distrust of
conventional medicine has led ordinary people to turn their backs
on science. Weaving together history, memoir, reporting, and
practical advice, Harrison illuminates the harms of wellness
culture while re-imagining our society's relationship with
well-being. Praise for The Wellness Trap: 'Essential for anyone
navigating health concerns in the era of hyper-information.' -Laura
Thomas, author of Just Eat It 'Before you start your next diet,
supplement, or wellness practice, read this book!' -Judith Matz,
LCSW, author of The Diet Survivor's Handbook 'With nuance and
compassion, Christy shows us how to be well, without being
manipulated.' -Alan Levinovitz, author of Natural 'In this
remarkable book, Christy Harrison blows the lid off the wellness
industry and exposes its flaws, untruths, and toxicity. This book
is a life-changer!' -Elyse Resch, MS, RDN, CEDS-S, Co-author of
Intuitive Eating 'Harrison's work is a gift and I am so grateful to
have this on my bookshelf.' -Virginia Sole-Smith, author of Fat
Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture
