Reviews

[Kathie Bennet]

Maintenance Phase. The Hidden History of the Weight Loss and Wellness Industries and the Lies They Sold Us by Aubrey Gordon is an upcoming deep dive into the complex and often misleading narratives surrounding weight loss and wellness. Known for her sharp cultural analysis, Gordon is expected to unpack the historical, social, and economic forces that have shaped these industries and the beliefs people hold about health. While full details are still under wraps, the book promises to challenge conventional thinking and spark important conversations about body image, wellness culture, and systemic influence. Even ahead of its release, it stands out as a highly anticipated work for readers interested in critical perspectives on health, media, and society.
