The Wellness Trap

She promised eternal youth and purity. All she delivered was a hospital bill and a ruined body.

On social media, she looks like a guru. With her glowing skin (thanks to filters) and serene voice, she preaches about "detoxing the soul" and "cleansing the vessel." She targets vulnerable people looking for a miracle cure for their fatigue or depression. Her solution? An exclusive "Wellness Plan" that costs a staggering $500 per month. Thousands signed up, believing they were joining a movement of health.

But medical experts who have reviewed her program are calling it something far more sinister: a starvation cult. The "plan" isn't a diet; it's a slow death sentence. Members are forbidden from eating solid food for weeks at a time. They are instructed to survive solely on a regimen of warm bone broth and ice cubes to "trick" their stomachs into feeling full.

"It's not wellness. It's anorexia with a monthly subscription fee."

The consequences have been devastating. Last week, emergency rooms in three different states reported admitting young women with dangerously low heart rates and severe dehydration. Several of her most dedicated fans were hospitalized for organ failure after their bodies began to shut down from malnutrition. They had followed her advice to the letter, believing the pain was just "toxins leaving the body."

Despite the medical emergencies and the growing outcry from nutritionists, she refuses to take the program down. In a video posted this morning, she doubled down, claiming the hospitalized victims simply "didn't have enough faith." But as the lawsuits pile up, her empire of ice and broth is finally beginning to melt.
