It’s no secret that we’re a society obsessed with wellness.

From aromatherapy and yoga retreats to vitamin supplements and chlorophyll water, taking care of ourselves and our wellbeing has become a status symbol akin to a new pair of trainers or branded bag.

The only problem? While many of these practices offer real, tangible benefits for our physical and mental health, there are some more bizarre trends that are completely unsubstantiated by science. And while the idea of wanting to keep ourselves well is no bad thing, becoming obsessed with being happy, healthy and strong can sometimes have the opposite effect.

That’s the crux of a new series from Netflix called Wellmania, which follows the story of Liv (Celeste Barber) – a ‘human tornado’ who throws herself headfirst into the world of wellness after a major health crisis in an attempt to get back to her usual self.
