60 Minutes S2023E19 - Eat, Pray, Profit, Spare Us!

Eat, Pray, Profit
It's an amount of money that's truly mind-boggling. The largely unregulated world of wellness is estimated to be worth $7 trillion. Remarkably, it's three times more than the traditional pharmaceutical industry. And Australia is leading the charge in the wellness boom. Living among us are an increasing number of new-age gurus who believe, for an often very healthy price, they can fix our many real and imagined ailments. They claim things like coffee enemas, carnivore diets, intravenous drips, even vagina-scented candles will provide much needed zest for users. On 60 Minutes, Tom Steinfort realigns his chakras and sets forth on an eye-opening journey to discover if the wellness craze is giving us a new lease on life or is just an easy way to empty our wallets.

Spare Us!
Spare a thought for the spare. Prince Harry has endured a hell of a week explaining his hell of a life to a judge in a London court. He claims that for years the English tabloids harassed and hounded him into misery by hiring private eyes to constantly follow him, as well as hacking his phone to get the scoop on his secrets. Harry says he's now had enough and it must stop. But as Sarah Abo reports, for a man who has recently released a money-making autobiography and given multiple television interviews spilling the dirt on his famous family's squabbles, Harry's demand to hold the newspapers to account could just as easily be seen as a case of breathtaking hypocrisy.
