60% of Americans are living with at least one chronic disease. 40% experience digestive issues that disrupt their daily lives. 30% have symptoms of anxiety or depression. And one in five women under 50 are struggling with infertility. Meanwhile, despite all the scientific innovation in recent years and the trillions we spend on healthcare, life expectancy is falling in the U.S. Clearly, something is wrong. But how are we supposed to fix it when emerging health studies reveal contradictory findings; there’s little regulatory oversight on our toxin-laden food, beauty, and household products; and wellness influencers are selling us one-size-fits-all solutions to our complex issues? How can we know who to trust?

As a health and wellness journalist for over a decade now, Rebecca Strong knows these pain points well, and she’s hell-bent on taking all the guesswork out of what it really means to live well. On her new podcast Well-Bent, she’s tapping board-certified doctors, registered dietitians, licensed therapists, certified personal trainers, and other credentialed experts to offer listeners realistic and actionable advice on optimizing their health. Here at Well-Bent, we believe knowledge is power—which is why we definitely won't be gatekeeping any information.

Struggling with gut symptoms? Tired of battling acne, psoriasis, and eczema? Unable to get pregnant, or manage your ongoing anxiety or ADHD? Or maybe you're just looking for guidance on how to find nontoxic cleaning, personal care, and beauty products that won't put your health at risk? You've come to the right place.

New episodes of Well-Bent will drop every Tuesday morning, and you can tune into the first batch on September 24, 2024.
