186: The $7 Trillion Wellness Lie: Why Sleep, Nature, and Boundaries Still Matter
Manage episode 502550563 series 3611966
The wellness industry is now worth over $7 trillion, but many are still sleep-deprived, burnt out, and disconnected from nature. This episode of The Wellness Lab Digest dives deep into the latest neuroscience, McKinsey research, and urban wellness trends to explore why the most powerful wellness strategies—like sleep, healthy boundaries, and time in nature—are free, timeless, and often ignored.
💡 In this revealing conversation, we explore:
• The science behind sleep and memory, immunity, and aging
• How social media rewires our brains and disrupts emotional connection
• Why digital boundaries reduce burnout and boost focus
• The incredible immune and mood-boosting effects of time in nature
• Surprising data on child development, forest schools, and cognitive health
• What the “wellness paradox” means for your health in 2025 and beyond
This episode strips away the marketing hype and returns to the essentials: your body already knows what it needs. The real revolution? Rediscovering what’s always worked.
