A Wellness Editor's Honest Guide to What's Worth Your Money — and What Isn't | Eleanor Hoath

The Health Review

Show Notes

The wellness industry is worth nearly $7 trillion. There are supplements for everything, gadgets for everything, protocols for everything. But how much of it actually works — and how much is just very convincing marketing?

Nobody is better placed to answer that than today's guest. Eleanor Hoath is a registered nutritional therapist, wellness editor, writer and founder of The Well Edit — a research-led wellness platform bringing genuine editorial rigour to modern wellbeing. She has spent years immersed in this world — trying, testing and writing about everything from gut health to collagen supplements — and she brings something genuinely rare to the conversation: the clinical training to know what the science says and the editorial instincts to call out the noise.

This one is fun, honest and packed with the kind of insider perspective you won't get anywhere else.

We cover:

Histamine issues — why they're far more common in women than most people realise and what to do about them

Collagen supplements — does ingested collagen actually reach your skin or is this one of wellness's most expensive myths?

Eleanor's favourite wellness products right now — the things she'd genuinely recommend and the things she'd quietly bin

Why she's excited about the growth of the wellness industry — and genuinely concerned about the misleading marketing that comes with it

Green time before screen time — the phrase Eleanor coined in 2020 that's taken on a life of its own, and what the science actually says

Why so many of us are craving calm and focusing on nervous system health in 2026 — and whether the industry is responding well

This episode is for you if:

You love wellness but sometimes wonder if you're being sold to. You want the honest insider view from someone who has tried it all. Or you're simply curious about what a nutritional therapist and wellness editor actually has on her own shelf.
