It’s 2019 and people take wellness very seriously.
It’s no longer just your two servings of fruit and five of vege, washed down with eight-ish glasses of water, and an occasional sweat session at the gym.
It seems like if you’re not blocking magnetic and radioactive juju with a Himalayan salt lamp or grounding yourself to the earth with your bare feet, you’re not… well.
So, when The Times profiled the wellness habits of four people – who take their health very seriously – things got a lil’ bit… weird.
Especially when it came to a man named Tim Gray, who’s the founder of a hyperbaric oxygen treatment centre.
Some of Tim’s tips included:
– Measure your urine pH, weight, REM sleep and activity levels in a spreadsheet. Make this a daily task.
– Use a ‘HumanCharger’ for increased energy and mental alertness.
– Like Gray, do more fist bumping. He fist bumps every member of his 15-person team when he arrives in the office. He says it’s also his go-to morning greeting for his building concierge, and it’s something he’s done daily for the past four years.
– Only watching “half an episode” of a Breaking Bad-type drama at a time, because in his words, “I feel that, as we only live once, you’ve got to make the most of things and not waste your life in front of the TV”.
– Utilise the help of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (this can cost up to $100 per session) followed by an intravenous magnesium and amino acids drip.

Eh, doesn't sound any stupider or they any more gullible than some of the influencer-pedalled-hokum I've seen on here.
And as long people follow the likes of Pete Evans and ole Gwenny P, of course people are going to find a way to exploit them.
A Human Charger? Jesus Christ on a bike, are you kidding me? Talk about a sucker being born every minute! Don’t even get me started on only watching half a tv show because life’s too short to waste time - as if watching HALF a tv show isn’t a complete waste of time itself! I bet the poor fist-bumped concierge (and probably more than a few employees) rolls his eyes every time he sees this guy coming. Honestly, that Parks and Rec quote sounds frighteningly accurate. This guy is so obsessed with ‘health’ and ‘wellness’, which is fine up to a point, but in the end, none of us are getting out alive, so might as well relax and enjoy yourself. Still, at least he’s only testing his urine’s Ph level, and not drinking it.
"in the end, none of us are getting out alive, so might as well relax and enjoy yourself" Absolutely made my day how simple and excellent!!
"Oh whoops, I missed with my fist bump and accidentally fist bumped him right on the nose... what a pity..."
