Xand van Tulleken presents Make Me Well: A Quest to Understand the Confusing World of Wellness on 22 September 2026 at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh. The event will explore various aspects related to personal well-being and health trends. Details regarding attendance can be found by checking the website for ticket information.
Have you taken your magnesium today? Checked your sleep score? And you’re wondering how you can look and feel better, and live a little longer. Perhaps you want to fix your brain fog or sort out your gut health or balance your hormones. Do you need more supplements? A continuous glucose monitor? A panel of blood tests to see if everything’s where it should be? A personalised nutrition app? The socials are full of doctors and influencers all telling you something different. Who are you supposed to trust? You’re not alone. And the confusion is by design. Join Oxford-trained medical doctor, Fulbright scholar, and BBC science presenter Dr Xand van Tulleken as he helps us navigate the Wild West of the wellness industry and investigate the question at the heart of his new book: is any of this actually making us well? In this interactive one man show, Xand brings years of in-depth research to the stage in a truly interactive session. Expect live audience polls, word clouds, and a dedicated Q&A in the second half where you can dig into the topics that matter most to you. He’ll bust the myths the wellness industry profits from and let you know what’s worth your time and money. This will be your chance to get straight answers from a doctor who has examined the science and worked the wards, as Xand takes you from well-confused to well-informed.
