Seconded! Being "healthy" is the realization of two interacting random processes: things that are in your control and things that are not. The tricky part is that the division between these categories is really fuzzy and markedly different for everyone. The link between cause and effect is also likely less simple than wellness models predict. Started running? You might feel good now but not realize that you're exacerbating the arthritis your genetics predisposes you to in 20 years. Stopped smoking? Awesome! But why did your employer put you in a state of constant chronic stress for 10 years resulting in elevated cortisol that resulted in a stroke? The path between cause and effect is very difficult if not practically impossible to trace out for populations. So although wellness programs are not as sinister as some believe, they definitely are not as nice or positive as they present themselves, either.
