YAP Adds The One You Feed As Edison Research Ranks Wellness/Self-Improvement Among the Top 10 U.S. Podcast Topics
YAP Media Network announced today that The One You Feed, Eric Zimmer’s long-running personal growth podcast, has officially joined its network, expanding the company’s roster of wellness and self-improvement shows.
The addition comes at a notable moment for the category. Edison Research’s The Podcast Consumer 2026 ranks Wellness/Self-Improvement #10 among podcast topics consumed by U.S. weekly podcast listeners, placing it alongside major categories including Comedy, True Crime, Politics and Sports.
Over its 12-year legacy, The One You Feed has surpassed 50 million downloads across 850+ episodes. Featuring luminaries like James Clear and Susan Cain, the show has hit #1 on iTunes Health charts and was recognized by Oprah as a top motivational podcast.
At the center of the show is one enduring idea: what you feed grows.
“Wellness and self-improvement have become a major part of how people use podcasts, not just for entertainment, but to actively improve how they think, perform and live,” said Hala Taha, Founder and CEO of YAP Media. “The One You Feed has built incredible trust with that audience over more than a decade. Adding Eric to YAP strengthens a category we’ve been intentionally building, while giving our brand partners even more ways to reach these listeners across trusted voices, multiple shows and creative 360° campaigns.”
The One You Feed joins a growing YAP Media lineup that includes The Next Big Idea, The Dr. Leaf Show, Almost 30, The Trent Shelton Podcast, Save Yourself with Dr. Amy Shah, and other leading shows spanning mindset, personal development, performance and wellbeing.
With 76% of weekly podcast consumers taking action after hearing a podcast ad, according to Edison Research’s The Podcast Consumer 2026, YAP Media provides a high-impact platform for wellness brands.
