The Business of Wellness: Technology, Trends, and Transformation | Toronto Talks Episode 012

September 26, 2025 • Ashraf Amin • Season 1 • Episode 12

The global wellness industry is worth over $6 trillion — bigger than Big Pharma, tourism, or sports.

But here’s the real question: is this wellness boom actually making us healthier… or just selling us hype?

In Episode 12 of Toronto Talks, Ash and Sophie unpack the business of wellness — from weight-loss drugs and AI wearables to corporate programs and luxury retreats. With a Canadian lens, they explore whether wellness is truly transforming lives or simply monetizing our anxieties.
