Why Wellness is Becoming the New Social Culture | Dr. Jonathan Leary

Just the fact that a hotel even is conscious enough to have a sleep lab, an eight sleep mattress, coconut fiber and seaweed stuffed mattresses, you know, fully blackout blinds, an environment that you could really benefit from. It's like you're only going to be in that bed six or eight hours. You might as well get the most out of it. I think there's just massive groundswell of interest in destination wellness. When you started this concept, I think you filled a massive gap in the space we've always gathered around drink. I mean, what's your first thing you think of when you go on a date? Where are we going to go to dinner? Realizing that there's a whole lot more to that kind of social interaction.

It's just such a habit. This is what you do to socialize. But there's no reason why we need to connect over food or alcohol. We can connect over anything. We could be sitting in a sauna, we could doing lymphatic compression. We can do anything. I like to say that we're designed to heal. But then I realized that treating patients in their homes, their guard was down. And the more that their guard was down and they felt comfortable, the faster they were receptive to the care.
