It sells the idea that with enough discipline—green juices, morning routines, spin classes, and sleep tracking—one can achieve a state of transcendent health. The language of wellness is seductive because it is aspirational. It does not explicitly demand thinness; it demands vitality , glow , and balance . However, critics argue that this is a semantic sleight of hand. Underneath the jargon of “clean eating” and “functional fitness” lies a familiar hierarchy: the disciplined, toned, gluten-free body is superior to the undisciplined, sedentary, processed-food-eating body.

It is not necessary to abandon one movement for the other; rather, a synthesis is required. A more robust framework is body liberation , which includes body positivity but goes further to dismantle oppressive systems. Within this framework, wellness is redefined. It is not about tracking macros or hitting a certain number of steps, but about intuitive wellbeing : moving the body because it feels good, eating foods that satisfy hunger and taste, and resting without guilt. The key is to flip the hierarchy. In a liberated model, wellness serves the person, not the other way around. If a practice fosters self-judgment, it is discarded; if it fosters joy and functionality, it is kept. This means that weight loss is neither a goal nor a forbidden outcome—it is simply irrelevant to the moral calculation of one’s worth.
