Real Self-Care: How to redefine wellness in the new year with Dr. Pooja Lakshmin

January marks the beginning of another “new year, new you." It’s the time of increased gym memberships, yoga classes, juice cleanses or the next intoxicating wellness fix. But is it really worth it? According to Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, a board-certified psychiatrist, your New Year’s resolutions might just be faux self-care. Lakshmin’s book, “Real Self-Care: A transformative program for redefining wellness (crystals, cleanses, and bubble baths not included),” challenges the industrial wellness complex and short-term pleasure fixes, by offering a more constructive path. Lakshmin specializes in women’s mental health, particularly those from marginalized communities, and doesn’t have a quick fix for self-care. Instead, she offers four principles designed to help guide readers through real self-care. Tiziana Dearing, host of Radio Boston, moderated a conversation with Lakshmin about these principles.
