The global wellness industry is worth over $6 trillion — bigger than Big Pharma, tourism, or sports.
But here’s the real question: is this wellness boom actually making us healthier… or just selling us hype?
In Episode 12 of Toronto Talks, Ash and Sophie unpack the business of wellness — from weight-loss drugs and AI wearables to corporate programs and luxury retreats. With a Canadian lens, they explore whether wellness is truly transforming lives or simply monetizing our anxieties.
