In Wellmania: Misadventures in the Search for Wellness, author and Guardian Australia columnist Brigid Delaney recounts her trials and tribulations through the world of wellness – from juice cleanses to yoga retreats, from meditation apps to colonics. Yeah, that thing where they stick a hose in you and rinse your insides out.
Now, her memoir is finding a new audience in the form of a bingeworthy Netflix series. Wellmania (2023) stars Celeste Barber as Liv, an Australian food critic and ‘human tornado’ living in New York, who loses her Green Card back to the US when a doctor diagnoses her with ‘catastrophic health’.
