Chris Boyer and Reed Smith walk through why the gap is structural rather than a marketing problem, then close with David Middendorf at Monigle on what Volume 9 actually says about where consumers are right now. Why engagement in health and engagement with healthcare have decoupled, and what the avoidance number among the most engaged segment actually means The structural reasons the operating model can't win this space, from P&L logic to service-line measurement to where wellness programs sit on the org chart The DTC and subscription brands that took categories that used to be referrals inside a health system, and built continuous relationships around them Why a majority of consumers now believe a technology company is more likely to revolutionize healthcare than a traditional system or provider Trust, local knowledge, the provider relationship, the clinical record, and what it would take to actually deploy those as competitive advantages David Middendorf on the "window not a wave" framing, AI as connective tissue for what Monigle calls a Living System of Experiences, and the three keys to the future: listening, personalization, wellness David Middendorf leads the Humanizing Brand Experience research at Monigle. Volume 9 is the ninth annual installment of the firm's flagship study of healthcare consumer behavior. He joins the show to walk through what the new data is saying and what health system brand and experience leaders should do about it. If your strategy deck still treats the space between sick visits as future state, the disruption has already happened and you missed it.

In this solo episode, Sarah takes the “doctor vs brand” framework that went viral on Instagram and runs it as a real-time case study on a real company. The target is Cadense, an adaptive shoe that claims to help with foot drop, toe catch, and neurologic walking difficulties using “variable friction” tech, basically a glide-to-grip outsole design meant to reduce toe snagging while still giving traction during stance and push-off. Sarah breaks down what foot drop is, who this type of device might help, who it might put at risk, and why any rehab-adjacent product should be judged on more than vibe, testimonials, or white-coat authority.Then she gets into incentives, the part everyone wants to ignore until it's their wallet. She walks through Cadense's ambassador, coach, and affiliate pathways, and uses the full checklist to evaluate where Cadense lands on the clinician-led spectrum, including what they disclose well, what they oversimplify, and what they should tighten up if they want to be truly “do no harm” about a product that can literally change someone's fall risk. Finally, Sarah looks at the actual research (yes, it exists, no, it's not robust yet), explains what a five-person pilot study can and can't prove, and lays out the line she personally won't cross, recommending a product case-by-case versus becoming financially tied to a medical-ish purchase decision.FREE Barbell Mini Course—SIGN UPFOLLOW @MovementLogicTutorials on InstagramVerse Agile Rack, Foldable Home Barbell Rack coupon code MovementLogic50OFFRESOURCESInstagram Post: When a Doctor Becomes a BrandCadense, Official WebsiteCadense Coaches Program, Clinician PartnershipPilot Study of Cadence, A Novel Shoe for Patients With Foot Drop, Evora et al. 2019NIH Clinical Trial, Variable Friction Shoe vs AFO (NCT06234124)Global Wellness Economy Reaches $6.8 Trillion, Global Wellness Institute

Steve Nygren is the founder and CEO of Serenbe, a wellness community created as a model to demonstrate that preserving green space interlaced with agriculture, housing and retail is not only economically viable, but the future of community wellbeing. Nygren, a visionary placemaker—someone who specializes in transforming public spaces into areas that foster community, connection and well-being—has pulled together his expertise in Start in Your Own Backyard: Transforming Where We Live with Radical Common Sense, a blueprint for developing sustainable communities where citizens of all generations can thrive, "and awe is found in everyday moments." He says this requires understanding the following: The unintended consequences of sprawl, and why clustered development supports more green space, more housing and lower costs Why being disconnected from nature and each other is at the root of many environmental, societal and health-related woes Tactics to encourage a local food-based economy (and why that matters) How small yards, front porches, and blueberry bushes at crosswalks lead to strong, supportive neighborhoods The benefits of aging in place, and how to nurture connections between uncaged elders and free-range kids Nygren says that for many Americans, life is no longer working. We are increasingly sick, stressed, anxious, and unhappy. Many feel left behind by the economy, disillusioned by once-respected institutions, and helpless in the face of environmental decline. Nygren argues that much of this can be traced to where—and how—we live, and that by rethinking and reinvesting in our own communities, we can rediscover the joy of connected, meaningful lives for ourselves and future generations. Nygren's work has earned him the Global Wellness Institute's Leader in Innovation Award and Southface's Argon Award as well as recognition from the Urban Land Institute and the Atlanta Regional Commission. He was also named Georgia Trend's 2019 Most Respected Business Leader and the MLK Jr. Beloved Community Environmental Justice Award in 2025. Nygren currently serves on multiple local and national boards dealing with children, agriculture and environmental issues, including The Ray C. Anderson Foundation, Children & Nature Network, Chattahoochee Now and The Biophilic Institute.

Global policy & wellness implications – Why the UN Plastics Treaty failed to cap production and how wellness leaders can drive health-focused advocacy. AI for public health – How the new Microplastics Watch Initiative and AI tools are transforming massive data streams into actionable insights. Episode Highlights: 03:15 – A shocking Nature Medicine study finds 10x more plastic in Alzheimer's brains 12:40 – The surprising top source of airborne microplastics: car tires 21:05 – Why boiling water can reduce microplastics by up to 90% 29:18 – Everyday habits that accelerate microplastic ingestion and absorption 38:52 – Inside the UN Plastics Treaty debate: capping production vs. recycling 47:36 – The birth of the Microplastics Watch Initiative and AI-powered research tools 56:10 – Wellness action steps: from spa operations to personal lifestyle choices   Meet the Guests: Dr. Gerry Bodeker is a public health researcher with two decades at Oxford University, adjunct professor at Columbia, and co-chair of the Global Wellness Institute's Mental Wellness Initiative.

STARRCAST IS BACK for Season 9! We are thrilled to return to bring you more insights and fresh perspectives to help your spa business thrive! Thinking about opening a sauna or bathhouse, or scaling the one you've got?  To kick things off, we're replaying an incredibly informative webinar that unpacks the operating math behind the hydrothermal business: capacity planning, MEP-first (“engine room”) design, admissions-led pricing, and the real bottleneck no one budgets for: laundry throughput.  Expect candid lessons from operators and designers shaping the U.S. market, including Bathhouse (NYC) and leaders from the Global Wellness Institute initiatives. You'll learn how to right-size back-of-house, choose between open-ended admission vs. timed sessions, and design people-flow, so staff can manage more guests with less friction, all while protecting margins and guest experience. What You'll Learn: Why bathhouses are surging now: the shift to social wellness, accessible pricing, and admissions-first business models. MEP > “wow rooms”: how an engine-room-first approach (ventilation, filtration/sanitation, drainage, electrical) prevents constant firefighting. Capacity & pricing mechanics: choosing dynamic pricing, timed sessions, or walk-ins based on footprint, software, and throughput. Back-of-house math: planning for ~⅓ non-guest area, with laundry and storage sized to daily towel turns and peak flow. Revenue mix that actually works: admissions as the margin engine, treatments as add-ons, and F&B designed to extend dwell time—not clog operations. Episode Highlights (Chapters): 00:52 – Why “social wellness” is driving the U.S. sauna/bathhouse wave—and how this model differs from appointment-led spas. 06:18 – The hydrothermal specialist team you need on day one (designer + MEP) and why wet areas blow up naïve $/ft² assumptions. 12:40 – “Start with your engine room”: air changes, filtration, drainage, and electrical that determine guest comfort and uptime. 18:55 – Lessons from Bathhouse NYC: designing around laundry first (thousands of towels/day) and keeping sightlines open to reduce staffing. 25:03 – Admission strategy: open-ended stays with dynamic pricing vs. timed sessions in smaller/hotel footprints—software and UX trade-offs. 33:27 – Lease vs. buy: why most startups lease to preserve capex for fit-out; right-sizing scope and contingency. 41:42 – What really makes money: admissions > treatments; F&B for physiology and community, not margin. 49:58 – Guest norms & flow: no-photo policies, wet-to-dry separation, and the contrast-therapy circuit (hot → cold → rest). Meet the Guests Don Genders — CEO, Design for Leisure; Chair, GWI Hydrothermal Initiative (global authority on thermal & wet-area design). Lynn Curry — Principal, Curry Spa Consulting; member, GWI Consulting Initiative (concept-to-opening spa development). Travis Talmadge — Co-founder/operator, Bathhouse (NYC: Williamsburg & Flatiron), a high-volume, admissions-led urban bathhouse. Tools, Frameworks, or Strategies Mentioned: Engine-Room-First Design: lead with MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), ventilation/air changes, filtration, drainage, and storage. Capacity/Throughput Modeling: people-flow tracking, dynamic pricing, and sightlines to manage density with fewer staff. Contrast-Therapy Circuit: hot → cold → rest cycle embedded in layout and wayfinding. CFO Lens for Scope: capex vs. opex trade-offs, contingency, and location-first site selection. Closing Insight “We design around the laundry first.” The margin lives or dies in the back-of-house—build the plant right and the guest magic follows.

I am excited to have Leo Tonkin joining us today. Leo is a passionate advocate for Halotherapy. He believes the respiratory system is the key to longevity and quality of life because those who cannot breathe properly cannot live well. Even though we take around 20,000 breaths daily, we often take our breath for granted. Unfortunately, our respiratory system degenerates as we age, and the air quality around us keeps deteriorating. So if we fail to care for our lungs, we can lose the ability to sleep, work, and live well, and that's where Halotherapy, or salt therapy, can help us. Benefits of Salt Therapy: Clears mucus and reduces inflammation in the airways It is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal Eases symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, COPD, and allergies Helps prevent and relieve colds, flu, and sinus infections Strengthens immune function, increases lung capacity, and improves breathing Promotes deep and restful sleep Safe for pets and people of all ages Leo Tonkin's Bio: Leo Tonkin has been a pioneer in many industries, and in 2012, he revolutionized the salt therapy industry with his innovative approach and tireless dedication to transforming the way people think about their skin, respiratory, and mental wellness.  With a deep understanding of the science behind salt therapy and its benefits, Leo started SALT Chamber, the world's leading salt therapy design, equipment, and decor company.  Over a decade ago, he created a global industry for providing a safe, drug-free, evidence-based modality that is ‘hacking' into our respiratory and skin systems to enhance performance and recovery while improving quality of life.  In 2014, Leo was the Founding Chairman of the Salt Therapy Association, which now has over 3600+ members in 62 countries.  Understanding that air quality and climate change are major contributors to our well-being, he launched the Respiratory Wellness Initiative for the Global Wellness Institute.  He has a passion for making a difference in every breath we take, especially since being a Stage 4 cancer survivor. He lives in Delray Beach Florida, with his wife Lori. He has 4 grandchildren. In this episode: How Halotherapy originated and what it involves Why salt particles are effective for overcoming respiratory issues How does salt therapy work? How the halo generator functions in salt rooms The benefits of salt therapy for pets How salt therapy can help respiratory conditions like COPD, asthma, and cystic fibrosis When should salt therapy be avoided?

Today I'm chatting with Mariane Akwenye, founder of the Nomad African Wellness Homestead in Windhoek, Namibia, and the Nomad Institute which trains visually-impaired women to become massage therapists. Mariane is also the chair of the Africa Initiative of the Global Wellness Institute, a mother of two, and an incredible force for good in the world.We are discussing what I call the essence of money, or the “why” behind your desire for money. Learning how to identify the essences of your desires is the key to creating more ease and flow around receiving money in your life. This, in conjunction with healing your specific money blocks will open you up to your true abundance. Mariane shares a deeply personal story of where her core money blocks stem from, and how she has overcome those blocks to create an ease and peace around abundance and prosperity she never thought possible before. She explains how first creating an internal feeling of safety around money has created the external experience of safety around money she enjoys today. Connect with Mariane on LinkedIn: Mariane AkwenyeFollow Mariane on Instagram @nomadwellnesshomestead

Crunchy moms who have spent years telling their child's pediatrician they want to limit the vaccines their child receives may soon have an advocate in Washington, D.C.    Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who President-elect Donald Trump has tapped to head the Department of Health and Human Services, is spending the week before Christmas meeting with Senators on Capitol Hill ahead of his expected confirmation hearing early next year.    Kennedy has branded himself as the leader of the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, or MAHA, raising concerns over the obesity in this country, the processed food in American grocery stores, and the vaccines given to children.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that in 2000, one in every 150 children had been identified with autism spectrum disorder. By 2020, this number had risen to one in every 36 children. Kennedy has voiced support for studies to examine if the rise in autism is linked to the increasing number of vaccines given to babies and children.    “I'm not anti-vaccine, I just want good science,” Kennedy said in April during an appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” adding, “I am against vaccine mandates.”    Trump says he expects Kennedy to present him with reports on vaccines, but has assured the American people that they will still have access to vaccines.    “You're not going to lose the polio vaccine,” Trump told reporters during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Monday.  Kennedy's “MAHA” movement comes at a time when many Americans are embracing health trends. The U.S. wellness economy is valued at $1.8 trillion, according to Global Wellness Institute. From ditching seed oils to taking a cold plunge, many Americans increasingly appear interested in living healthier lives.    On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the popular health trends of 2024, how Kennedy could change the nation's approach to health and wellness, and ways to avoid some of those Christmas goodies.    Plus, God's Goop founder Justyn McAndrews joins the show to discuss the surprising health benefits of beef tallow - the perfect gift for your crunchy friend or family member this Christmas.

Victor Koo is a familiar face in China's tech industry. In the 90s, he was president of Sohu, China's second-largest search engine. Subsequently, he founded YouKu, China's largest online video platform with 500 million monthly users (commonly called the "YouTube of China" and later sold to Alibaba). Surprisingly, his journey of scaling began to turn inwards at a tech conference in Sun Valley in 2016, when a networking conversation with a young entrepreneur soon turned towards meditation. Upon hearing that Victor had always wanted to try it, the young entrepreneur let go of the opportunity to network with others, instead guiding Victor to an hour-long meditation. That was the first hour of meditation in Victor's life, a seed that he continues to cultivate through a daily practice now spanning several years. Along the way, on a trip to Thailand, he casually walked into a breathwork course without any context. That session, led by a teacher who had survived Stage-4 terminal cancer through breathwork practice, further opened up his inner world in a striking way. "If I never believed in chakras and energy body within each of us, that session blew all of that disbelief away based on direct experience that lasted over a day." As Victor's inner journey took root, it has also decidedly altered the course of his work in the world. After transitioning from his role at Youku, Victor shifted his focus to inner-purpose-driven service and investing. In late 2016, he co-founded Tianren Culture - a social platform based out of Hong Kong that aims to promote "One Wisdom, One Health" by encouraging and enabling contemplative practices and healthy lifestyles. It focuses especially on those practices and lifestyles with roots in spiritual and natural wisdom and non-dualistic philosophies, positing that human physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and wellness is interconnected with the health of the broader environment and ecosystem. Tianren Culture partners with foundations, NGOs, and businesses to put in place effective social innovation initiatives to improve physical wellness through overall food system transformation, as well as mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness by supporting scientific research and promoting meditation and breathwork practices. The Tianren team is actively volunteering time for Servicespace's AI-related initiatives, including CompassionGPT. Related to Tianren's work, Victor is also a board director of Good Food Fund and on the advisory board of Global Wellness Institute. Victor's exposure to multiple cultures has been formative in his journey - he was born in Hong Kong, and apart from twenty-five years in China, he has lived extensively in Australia, US, and Japan - with Japan being his current home since the pandemic. He received his BS degree from University of California, Berkeley, where he was also a Regent's scholar and MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he currently serves on the Advisory Council. Victor's professional experience lies mostly at the intersection of the technology and media sectors, as well as private equity and venture capital investments. He continues to serve as Chairman of Heyi (his company that incubated Youku), which now focuses on disruptive innovation and social impact investments in areas such as health, genome, and new protein. He is also a senior advisor of Texas Pacific Group and a business advisor of DeCheng Capital. "If there was one thing I wish I had known before I started my company, it is meditation (by far!) because of the calm and equanimity that it brings you, and really helps you question the purpose of why you're doing what you're doing." It's a piece of advice that Victor can often be found paying forward now to b-school students and young founders. Join us in conversation with this founder-turned-server, as we learn more about his journey of scaling inwards, or as he loves to quote Bruce Lee, to "be like water". The call will be hosted by Xue Devand and Birju Pandya. Xue formerly founded one of the "50 most innovative companies of the world" and now currently runs The Space Between, a venture capital fund aiming to be a "sacred hospitality" company that helps inspire wealthholders to transition their consciousness from being owners of money to being the stewards of money. Birju is Chief Mindfulness Officer/Managing Director at Mobius.life, an integrated capital family office, and a long-time volunteer with Servicespace.

According to the Global Wellness Institute, mental wellness is “an internal resource that helps us think, feel, connect, and function; it is an active process that helps us to build resilience, grow, and flourish.”By definition, this means that it is more than just the absence of mental illness, which is what we normally lump under the catch-all term “mental health” in modern society. Mental wellness helps us shift our perspective from stigma to more of a sense of shared humanity, which we desperately need. According to the American College Health Association's (ACHA) Spring 2022 National College Health Assessment, which surveyed over 54,000 undergraduate students,  approximately 77% were experiencing moderate to serious psychological distress. We have more “Mental Health” resources available than ever before, but we continually hear that we are mentally unwell. It raises the question and need for more whole-person approaches to well-being. Welcome to Episode Thirty-three of The Nature of Wellness Podcast.  On this episode, we sat down with a 20+ year veteran of the healthcare and wellness fields, Past President of the National Wellness Institute Board, and healthcare entrepreneur Brian Schroeder. Brian is the founder and CEO of Preventia, a health-tech startup and virtual care platform that helps people better manage habit, behavior, and mental well-being.” Preventia's unique “Coach Approach” empowers people to manage habits, behavior, and mental health more effectively – by connecting them to caregivers who are trained in behavior change. Their primary focus is on the mental and emotional well-being in college and university, business, and healthcare cultures. Join us as we talk to Brian about his incredible personal and professional health and wellness journey, his extremely personal motivation for beginning a health and wellness tech company, how time in nature is good for any entrepreneur, and how a “whole-person approach” is needed for our ongoing mental health challenges. Preventia partnered with Butler University to provide the first Student Mental Wellness Summit in JAN 2024. The event was built by the identified needs of the student body and supported by all aspects of Butler's leadership. Mark and Brian created a brief recap of the event at the end of this episode. We all left this conversation feeling ready and equipped to be part of the mental wellness solution.  Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review anywhere you listen to this podcast. We appreciate you all.Be Well-NOWPreventia Overview: https://preventiagroup.comStudent Mental Wellness Summit Recap: https://preventiagroup.com/butler-university-student-athlete-mental-wellness-summit/University Hosts Mental Health Summit:https://www.wishtv.com/news/education/butler-university-hosts-1st-student-athlete-mental-wellness-summit/Bolstering Student-Athlete Mental Wellness Story:https://www.wishtv.com/news/allindiana/bolstering-student-athlete-mental-wellness/* The Nature of Wellness Podcast is produced by the remarkable Shawn Bell.** The NOW theme song was written, performed, produced, and graciously provided by the incredibly talented Phil and Niall Monahan.
