The High Cost of Wellness
Taffy Brodesser-Akner, staff writer at The New York Times Magazine and The New York Times culture desk, talks about the growth of Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow's controversial lifestyle brand, and the lengths some women will go achieve wellness.
@taffyakner says the medical community can complain about the chaos that "wellness" has caused...but the way they treat women patients was the cause of some of it. "Women feel so overwhelmingly dismissed by medicine in general."
