The Epidemic of Oversimplified Wellness (and Why It Backfires)
In this episode, I take a close look at how health misinformation spreads in modern wellness culture — and why it’s so destabilizing to the nervous system, especially in the Information Age.
People often ask me to review things they see on Instagram or explain whether a claim is “true.” I’m not here to fact-check the internet — but I am here to help you build discernment. Because when you don’t have a filter, your nervous system becomes the filter. That’s how people end up overwhelmed, confused, and disconnected from their bodies.
Building on the previous episode about the shadow side of wellness culture, I walk through a real Instagram carousel as a case study. The post claims that vitamin D determines whether calories become fat or muscle, backed by PubMed citations and a personal transformation story.
This episode slows that claim down.
We explore:
• Why single-nutrient narratives oversimplify human physiology
• How PubMed studies are often misused or misunderstood
• Why animal studies and unrelated research don’t equal clinical truth
• How transformation stories create false certainty
• Why changing a lab number doesn’t mean healing occurred
• How nutrient chasing creates new imbalances
• Why this model backfires faster in women’s bodies
• And how wellness content trains people to outsource discernment
This is not an episode about vitamin D.
It’s about how reductionistic health advice erodes trust, fuels protocol fatigue, and keeps people chasing fixes instead of restoring stability.
I also share why I work from an ecosystem-based approach using minerals and the microbiome — and why healing requires context, pacing, and nervous system safety, not more force.
If you’re exhausted by wellness advice and ready for a more coherent way to understand your body, this conversation will help sharpen your filter and protect your biology.
