The wellness industry has become a massive money-making machine that preys on Americans’ genuine desire to be healthy. Instead of promoting real solutions, these so-called experts push expensive supplements, extreme diets, and complicated biohacking schemes that leave people more confused than ever. The result is a culture of health anxiety where people obsess over every meal and supplement instead of living normal, balanced lives.
Take Dr. Eric Berg, a chiropractor who markets himself as a health expert to millions of followers. While he calls himself “doctor,” he’s not a medical doctor and has faced serious criticism from actual physicians for spreading misleading information. His claims about conditions like “adrenal fatigue” aren’t even recognized by real medical organizations, yet he continues to sell supplements and advice based on these questionable ideas.
The problem runs deeper than just one influencer. The entire wellness culture has become infected with liberal ideology that rejects common sense and traditional wisdom about health. These influencers make simple concepts like eating less and moving more sound impossible without their special programs, books, and products. They’re selling anxiety disguised as empowerment.
What’s really happening is that big tech platforms and wellness companies are profiting off people’s health fears. They create problems that don’t exist, then sell expensive solutions that often make things worse. Meanwhile, they ignore the basic principles that kept Americans healthy for generations: hard work, moderation, and personal responsibility.
Our grandparents didn’t need complicated keto calculators or expensive superfood powders. They ate real food, worked hard, and took care of their families. They understood that health comes from discipline and common sense, not from following the latest internet guru or spending hundreds of dollars on supplements.
The truth is that most health problems can be solved with simple changes that don’t cost anything. Eat less processed junk, move your body regularly, get enough sleep, and stop stressing about every little thing. But there’s no money in telling people something so simple and obvious.
Real Americans need to wake up and recognize when they’re being sold a bill of goods. If someone is trying to sell you something while claiming to help your health, be very suspicious. The best health advice is usually free and has been around for decades, not invented by some social media influencer last week.
We need to get back to basics and stop letting these wellness scammers take advantage of hardworking people who just want to feel better. Trust your instincts, use common sense, and remember that the best medicine is often the simplest: take care of yourself without obsessing over every trend that comes along.
