#34 | Why Having High Profile Guests On Your Health & Wellness Podcast Won’t Grow Your Audience In 2026 (What To Do Instead)

Do you really need high-profile guests to grow your health podcast—or is that belief actually holding you back?

Landing big names in the wellness space feels like the fastest path to wellness podcast growth, but in reality, it often leads to short-lived spikes, disengaged listeners, and stalled momentum. In this episode, we break down why relying on high-profile guests rarely builds a loyal audience—and what to do instead if you want sustainable growth.

By listening, you’ll learn:

1. Why high-profile guests rarely translate into long-term wellness podcast growth
2. How to avoid the one-hit-wonder effect that keeps your health podcast stuck
3. A simple content strategy shift that turns guest traffic into loyal listeners

If you want your health podcast to grow because of the value you deliver—not the names you book—this episode will completely change how you think about guests, content, and audience retention.
