Today, we’re talking about “Big Wellness” - the business, its benefits, the grift? Whether we think it’s all a scam, or can’t wake up without a gorgeous green cup of matcha, wellness culture has changed our world forever. 
To help us understand this phenomenon, Christiana speaks to <a href="https://www.amylarocca.com/">Amy Larocca</a>, journalist and author of <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/599403/how-to-be-well-by-amy-larocca/">How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure at a Time.</a>

How K-Beauty Took Over the World with Elise Hu | Pop Syllabus

Pop Syllabus is a show where host Christiana Mbakwe Medina deconstructs the zeitgeist and answers the big cultural questions. How did we swing from body positivity to thin-being-in? Why do so many people trust wellness influencers over medical doctors? And how did tech oligarchs become the new celebrities? Think of Christiana as a cross between a messy news anchor and guerilla academic. Each week, she and an expert guest will unpack a buzzy topic, and help us understand the moment while going through it.
