'Wellness is putting a price tag on health'

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Does the wellness industry's relentless focus on improvement through diet, exercise and mindfulness contribute to yet more pressure to live the perfect life? Nutritionist and writer Pixie Turner explains why she turned her back on the industry after Woman's Hour listener Catherine wrote to the programme about it for Listener Week. She tells us why it's actually putting women's health at risk, and busts one of the biggest wellness food myths.
