When the internet convinces you you're sick [Ad-free]
Added 2025-10-22 07:00:12 +0000 UTCFrom Goop to MAHA, health/wellness movements might just look like a grift, but each features a real critique of the healthcare industry or medical science at their core. Today we’re talking about wellness and how it connects to the spread of fascism across the globe. Bridget Todd and Heather Holdridge join us to talk about how these wellness trends take advantage of misinformation and exploit our fears, and ultimately can lead people down much darker, conspiratorial paths online.
Our guests are Bridget Todd, host of There Are No Girls on the Internet — listen to it here or wherever you get your podcasts — and Heather Holdridge, Managing Director of Real Voices Media. Check out their work at https://realvoicesmedia.com/.

It’s 31min long, and uncomfortable and very Panic World coded. Fits perfectly into this conversation. Here’s the link to the filmmaker’s website where you can watch it: https://lehogalibertlaine.com/watching-the-pain-of-others
