What is the true meaning of wellness? And what are the paths to attain it? The BBC set out to answer those questions. Leveraging the research and network of the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), BBC StoryWorks just produced a digital series for GWI that delves into the topic of wellness and the art and science of living well.

On this episode of the Global Wellness Summit’s podcast Global Wellness Conversations, host Kim Marshall welcomes Simon Shelley, the Vice-President of Programming Partnerships from BBC StoryWorks, who led the creation of this brand new series called In Pursuit of Wellness: The Art & Science of Living Well. Simon discusses the power of storytelling to change the conversation on wellness to a more accessible and inclusive one, highlighting some of the human-centric stories from different parts of the world in the series. Simon discusses how the series aims to integrate ancient practices alongside our conventional healthcare system, and how the media can be used to track audience sentiments and to help remove barriers to entry when it comes to wellness.
