Elise Loehnen pioneered 'wellness'; now, she's dismantling it

MECCA Talks

In today’s episode of MECCA Talks, Kate Blythe is joined in the studio by Elise Loehnen. Elise is a New York Times Bestselling Author, Editor, Podcast Host and the former Chief Content Officer for GOOP (you might recognise her from their podcast or Netflix series).

From serums to psychedelics, juices and drips, Elise has explored every corner of the wellness industry, but now she’s redefining the concept of wellness to ‘wholeness’ - through historical, traditional and cultural research and critique.

In this conversation, they discuss wellness culture, Elise’s journey to wholeness, and her book, On Our Best Behaviour.

Host: Kate Blythe

Producer: Kerri Gordon

Editor: Ruby Devlin
