If you related to Netflix’s Wellmania, Jesus can definitely help you out

Writer Lauren Windle watched Netflix’s Wellmania with interest and amusement, but couldn’t help thinking there was one route to ‘wellness’ the main character should have tried.

Wellmania is the latest Netflix series depicting a flawed woman’s journey through self-discovery and self-improvement. It’s funny – very rude and for many of us, deeply relatable. And that, dear friends, is why we need all Jesus.

The protagonist Liv has a successful career as a food writer in New York and is offered the opportunity of a lifetime judging the next big cooking show. But she’s denied a visa to work in the States due to her health. OK – I know what you’re thinking; none of that’s relatable, but hear me out. In response to the visa news Liv, played by Aussie actor Celeste Barber, embarks on a search of a quick health fix. She takes highly addictive anti-anxiety medication, does juice cleanses and “cupping” treatments, she holds “grounding” crystals, attempts areal yoga and eventually joins a gym.
