If you opened your bathroom or kitchen cabinet right now, how many things in there were bought to fix a symptom, and didn't?

I'll be honest, I'm a product person myself. I've been down the supplement path, the face product path, the hair path, all of it. A few years into doing this work as an integrative health practitioner, I realized what was actually going on.
What we get into:
Why the wellness industry is built to sell you the next single fix, and why that's almost never actually the answer.
It's almost never just one thing causing a symptom, which means it's almost never just one product, supplement, or protocol that fixes it.
A client story: nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress work helped with her anxiety, but it took looking at gut imbalances and where the anxiety actually started to get her to a place where she didn't need medication every morning.
Another client story: autoimmune symptoms, humidity, swelling, and inflammation that only made sense once we looked at food, her combination of conditions, and everything else together.
The one question to ask yourself before you buy the next thing: is this actually going to help me solve the root cause, or is it just going to mask a symptom?
