#54 Gabi Day: Wellness Industry Bamboozlement, Forever Chemicals, & the Class Divide for Health

Just a heads up: this episode might mess with your worldview a little. And yes… you can’t unknow some of it.

This conversation goes way beyond skincare, haircare, or “clean beauty.” It’s really about who we trust with our bodies and why we ever stopped trusting ourselves.

I’m joined by Gabi Day, founder of Bright Body, and what unfolds is one of those conversations that starts in wellness and ends somewhere much more existential.

We talk about things like:

• How the wellness industry trains us to look for authority instead of developing discernment.

• Why “experts,” labels, and trends aren’t substitutes for curiosity and self-advocacy.

• Discovering you actual risk tolerance not outsourcing it. 

• The quiet ways endocrine disruptors, microplastics, and synthetic fragrances intersect with everyday life not just products.

• How marketing often simplifies complex health issues in ways that feel comforting, but aren’t always honest.

• What it actually looks like to build a wellness brand without fear-based messaging or false certainty.

• Why asking better questions might matter more than finding the “right” answers.

What I love is that this isn’t an episode that tells you what to buy, who to follow, or what to believe.

It’s an invitation to think more critically, trust yourself more deeply, and stop handing your power over to strangers with good branding.

Press play and maybe notice what comes up for you along the way.
