Is Wellness Just Another Fashion Trend? With Rina Raphael

Rina Raphael is a journalist who specialises in health, wellness and tech. She was the health and wellness features writer for the Fast Company and has also contributed to New York Times, LA Times, CBS and NBC News and was previously senior producer and lifestyle editor at The TODAY Show.


In her new book The Gospel Of Wellness, Rina balances the good with the bad, taking a deep, nuanced dive into this $4.4 trillion dollar industry, and how it’ s a direct result of gender inequalities and structural sexism within medicine and society.  She is here to help us tear down the false idols that have taken hold and ultimately shows how we might shape a better future for the movement - and for our well-being.
