Make Me Well: A Quest to Understand the Confusing World of Wellness

The burgeoning but unregulated wellness industry is worth billions, but how do we know what is actually good for us and what is just making other people money? From the vaunted benefits of vitamin D supplementation and turmeric tablets to wearable health tech, blood testing and “anti-ageing” pills, doctor and broadcaster van Tulleken probes the claims of tech companies, podcasters, influencers and more. What he mostly discovers in this revelatory and eminently accessible book is that few such claims stand up to scientific scrutiny or to the complex realities of our human bodies. In the world of wellness, therefore, buyers should doubly beware.
