The wellness industry is booming, but is it actually helping people live better lives? With trillions spent on supplements, special diets, and longevity hacks, it raises a bigger question about what really matters for long-term health.
Dr. Zeke Emanuel, Author, Eat Your Ice Cream joins CareTalk to discuss the wellness industrial complex, the health risks of loneliness, and why social connection, simple habits, and even ice cream may matter more than expensive longevity obsessions.
