Based on Australian writer Brigid Delaney's novel Wellmania: Misadventures in the Search for Wellness, and co-written for the screen by the author with fellow Australian writer Benjamin Law, Wellmania takes a good hard look at the billion-dollar wellness industry through our noble protagonist Liv. I think she learns that you can’t keep running. You have to deal with things that have happened in your past, whether they were out of your hands or not. And it’s your connection with family, with friends, with yourself, that is the most important thing. It’s a pretty excellent, big arc to play. I just think she’s bananas.A renowned New York Times food writer with an unhealthy lifestyle, Olivia "Liv" Healy, heads out to Sydney, Australia, after receiving an offer to serve as judge on an upcoming cooking competition television show, to visit her longtime best friend, Amy Kwan, on her 40th birthday. During her time in Sydney, Liv's US green card is stolen. While attending the AJA awards ceremony, where Amy is a nominee, Liv unwittingly insults Amy's editor-in chief, Helen King, which drives a wedge between Amy and Liv. While applying for a new green card, Liv faints and wakes up the next day in the clinic of the consulate office. Dr. Priyanka Singh, a consulate physician, tells her that she fainted due to her high cholesterol and rules her as unqualified for the green card for health reasons unless she lowers her cholesterol levels by the following year. Liv storms out of the clinic, declaring that she will lower her cholesterol levels in less than four weeks.
