"For years, I masked my yearning for sunshine with drugs, work, and travel. The wellness industry thrives on this disconnection—selling us our lives back from the corporations we sold them to. I call this the Russian doll of capitalism. Every time you think you’ve reached the end of mindless consumption, another doll is waiting inside.
There is no better market for wellness products than an overachieving population in a toxic system, with Vitamin D deficiency."
This really important moment in your post resonated with me. This has been a several year-long frustration of mine that I've been starting to unpack more and actually do some satirical writing about (stay tuned!), so it's great to see this echoed here as well.
As long we adjust ourselves to meet an unreasonable ask, requiring an unreasonable response.... we stay blind, and the wellness and longevity industries call it healing.
Great to see your journey retold from this greater arc, and proud of you for taking your health and therefore, your life back into your hands, and offering the same to others. Keep on, rebel!
