Make Me Well.

Oxford-trained medical doctor, Fulbright scholar, and BBC science presenter Dr Xand van Tulleken is live on-stage helping us navigate the Wild West of the wellness industry as he investigates the core question at the heart of his new book: is any of this actually making us well ?

Have you taken magnesium today? Checked your sleep score? 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?

Who are you supposed to trust!?!

You're probably wondering how you can look and feel better, live a little longer? Perhaps you want to fix your brain fog, sort out your gut health, or balance your hormones? The socials are full of doctors and influencers all telling you something different.

You're not alone, and all the confusion is by design.

In this interactive one-man show, Xand brings his 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 spending your time and money on.

This is your chance to get straight answers about wellness from a doctor who has examined the science, done the research and worked on the wards.

'If anyone can drag the wellness industry into the light and make you laugh while doing it, it's Xand van Tulleken. Beautifully researched, clear-eyed and very funny.' — Hannah Fry
