Humor in Longevity: When Wellness Gets a Little Ridiculous


Listen Later

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. 

Blaine and Lauren have fun with a Vanity Fair wellness spoof article that hits a little too close to home. The article is packed with longevity hacks, including supplements, red light therapy, and biohacking routines.

What starts as humor turns into a deeper conversation about the stress, pressure, and performative culture behind modern wellness and anti-aging.

They discuss current longevity research and explore energy as the often-missing piece of the puzzle. Drawing from Energy Medicine Yoga, they share how tuning your body’s energy may support real health, happiness, and resilience.

This episode is a light, funny, honest reminder that true wellness isn’t about doing more, it’s actually about feeling better. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!
