Margaret and Amy talk with award-winning journalist and author Amy Larocca, whose new book HOW TO BE WELL takes a deeply researched look at the trillion-dollar wellness industry.

From supplements to concierge doctors to SoulCycle-as-religion, Larocca exposes how much of modern “self-care” is really about chasing youth, thinness, and unattainable perfection under a new label: wellness.

We cover:

  • The real reason “wellness” exploded—and how it's really just rebranded beauty, fitness, and weight loss
  • Why GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic and Wegovy) are shifting the cultural conversation on body image
  • How women seeking medical care are often underserved, misdiagnosed, or dismissed—and driven toward alternative wellness spaces as a result
  • Why so much wellness messaging is about “getting back to yourself”
  • The role of class, whiteness, and marketing in wellness culture
  • How to protect the next generation—especially our daughters—from internalizing toxic messages about beauty and body image
