Wellness experts make a lot of money telling their clients how to be healthy. Many more people aspire to enter this field. Who doesn’t want to be a millionaire who pays for their private island by telling truly desperate people to eat less, move more and start a gratitude journal?

But is making others feel bad because they’re not on their knees thanking the Universe for their clean water really the way to help people live healthier lives? Or can we all work harder to meet people where they’re at and practice a bit of empathy?

We all know that living a healthy life is important.
