Episode 318 : Mallory DeMille
Life After MLM
How the Wellness Funnel Leads to Conspiracy
Mallory cites the New York Times funnel showing how wellness curiosity can escalate to anti-medicine beliefs.
Let's grab Mallory DeMille and dive into the wacky world of wellness influencers; the rise of grifters, the impact of the MAHA movement, and the absurd trends that have emerged in recent years. We discuss how wellness influencers exploit tragedies for profit, the gamification of the wellness space, and the challenges of helping change minds in a world filled with mis and disinformation. And what extreme wellness influencer episode would be complete without touching on some of 2025's most bizarre practices like urine therapy and butthole sunning, as well as predictions for 2026.
