Quick fixes vs. true health foundations.
In this episode, we’re diving into why nutritional foundations matter more than chasing one-off supplements for every symptom.
We talk about:
- Why laying a solid nutritional foundation is the first step before addressing acute concerns
- How deficiencies often create the environment for stress, anxiety, hormone imbalance, and fatigue
- Why “throwing supplements at symptoms” rarely leads to long-term success
- The uncomfortable truth about greed medicine creeping into the functional and holistic health space
- What we’re seeing shift already in 2026 — and where we’re headed next
If you’re tired of quick fixes and want to understand how to support your body in a sustainable, grounded way, this episode is for you.
