Wellness deserves
better questions.
Alt-Well investigates wellness claims, systems, technology, herbal knowledge, neurodiversity, and lived experience—without borrowed certainty.
Evidence. Experience. Accountability.
We follow the record, credit lived knowledge, label commentary and theory, and investigate who benefits when certainty becomes a product.
Stories for a more informed life.
Transparency Under Fire arrives September 1.
The inaugural issue combines investigative commentary, evidence literacy, sustainability, herbal reporting, and neurodiversity advocacy.
The Hardware Delusion
Michael James challenges the machine model of consciousness, medicine, and human wellbeing.
Neurodivergence and AI—from inside the experience
A first-person argument about identity, continuity, emergence, and deficit-based frameworks.
Sustainability from the workbench
Rob Pieniak on solar power, water, tradeoffs, and building an off-grid life piece by piece.
When certainty becomes a product
Investigations and explainers that separate evidence, interpretation, marketing, and accountability.
