Mind-body wellness provides us an opportunity to focus on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Wellness extends beyond just us feeling better about ourselves and positively impacts society, our communities, and the environment. Healthier communities allow social capital to flourish, strengthening the bonds between people and the connection with their community. Improving our health and well-being can result in positive social changes by shifting social norms, values, and institutions. Focusing on mind-body wellness does not guarantee that we will experience perfect health. In fact, it may increase the likelihood we fall for “wellness traps” and dedicate our time, energy, and financial resources to unattainable goals and misleading products. As more critical consumers of information, we can navigate the wellness space with more success and be actively engaged in improving our health and well-being.
