Alt-Well — Issue One: Transparency Under Fire (September 2026)

Alt-Well’s inaugural September 2026 issue, Transparency Under Fire, delivers independent investigative wellness journalism and neurodiversity advocacy without fear, hype, or borrowed certainty. Inside: The Hardware Delusion, a cover commentary challenging dominant assumptions about cognition; investigations into how wellness claims outrun evidence and how AI-powered wellness tools earn trust; practical reporting on herbal evidence, movement, fiber, privacy, and the unoptimized life; and Rob Pieniak’s firsthand feature on building an off-grid sustainable life. Alt-Well separates fact, evidence, lived experience, theory, and opinion so readers can question confidently and decide for themselves. Includes sources, contributor disclosures, corrections guidance, and September public-interest awareness resources. The print edition includes free digital access.
