Nikki Reed<\/a> has taken aim at the “crazy” wellness industry for “capitalizing on people\u2019s hope”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Nikki Reed worries the wellness industry sells products that don’t work<\/p>\n
The Twilight star, 37, has spent years battling a mystery medical condition and she turned to wellness brands when she struggled to get a diagnosis from her doctors but Nikki is adamant she was sold products that “weren’t working”.<\/p>\n
During an appearance on Taylor Lautner’s The Squeeze podcast, she explained: “The placebo effect is real, but it doesn\u2019t work on me.<\/p>\n
“I had spent so much time exploring a lot of this and the world of wellness and supplements. I won\u2019t bore you with it, but I ended up in this crazy health scare that spanned years and years.<\/p>\n
“I was seeing, as you can imagine, great doctors because I\u2019m an information seeker. I\u2019m seeking out the best doctors that I can and really researching for years and years.<\/p>\n
\n“I couldn\u2019t figure this out and it was making me crazy, but what was making me equally as crazy was the amount of things I was being sold that weren\u2019t working.”<\/p>\n
\nShe added: “Not only do they not work, but it\u2019s an industry that\u2019s capitalizing on people\u2019s hope because they\u2019re hoping that it works.<\/p>\n
\n“They\u2019re taking these things, and they\u2019re spending their hard-earned money on this massive belief that they\u2019re going to get better from an industry that\u2019s taking advantage of them.”<\/p>\n
\nNikki – who runs her own wellness brand The Absorption Company with her actor husband Ian Somerhalder – went on to say: “I live in this space because I love the world of nontraditional medicine, but I also love Western [medicine] that\u2019s very cut and dry,.<\/p>\n
\n“I think there\u2019s a place for all of it, and I live somewhere in the middle of this space of wellness but also traditional medicine. I see and appreciate both.”<\/p>\n
\nNikki did not reveal whether she eventually solved her health issues but insisted giving up caffeine was a massive help.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “I actually quit all caffeine about seven years ago, and my life got so much better as a result.<\/p>\n
\n“Life is a series of choices, [and] I also don\u2019t drink alcohol. How do I make my life feel the best it can be? What can I cut out that\u2019s not serving me anymore?<\/p>\n
\n“Here we go, but, yeah, life got better without caffeine.”<\/p>\n
