One day, you hear that eating more fat is the key to better health. The next, someone warns you to avoid it. One expert swears by intermittent fasting, while another claims it’s harmful. Supplements? Some say they’re essential, while others insist they’re a waste of money. And how do you know if you even need to be taking them?
With so much conflicting advice, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. How do you know who to trust?
The truth is, health isn’t about chasing the latest trends. It’s about understanding your own body, filtering out the noise, and trusting what actually works for you.
The Problem with Wellness Hype
It’s tempting to jump on the latest health bandwagon, especially when influencers, marketing, or even people you know swear by it. But before you try something new, ask yourself:
✔ Do I actually have a problem that needs solving? Are you taking a supplement or trying a new diet because your body needs it, or just because it’s trending and you’re in the mindset that “maybe THIS is the one”?
✔ Is this backed by long-term research? Many fads rely on short-term results without considering long-term effects.
✔ How does my body respond? No matter how promising something sounds, if it doesn’t make you feel better, it’s not the right fit.
Understanding these questions can help you stop jumping from one approach to another without real results.
Why Conflicting Advice Feels Overwhelming
We’ve all been there – one week, an article tells you to cut carbs entirely, and the next, you hear you should be eating them before every workout. When health advice constantly changes, it’s no wonder so many of us feel exhausted, confused, stuck and wondering if the next one will be ‘THE’ one…
At PH&WS, we’ve worked with many clients who felt lost in the sea of conflicting health advice.
Their turning point?
Learning how to tune into their own bodies. Once you understand your unique rhythms – what foods, movement, and lifestyle habits actually work best for you – everything changes.
Instead of following every new trend, you gain clarity, confidence, and control over your health.
How to Find What’s Right for You
So, how do you separate fact from fiction when it comes to health? Start with these three steps:
1️⃣ Assess Your Own Needs – Before trying something new, ask yourself if you actually need it. No specific health advice applies to everyone.
2️⃣ Focus on Long-Term Principles – Real health strategies stand the test of time. Did you know that elements of our approach are based on evidence-backed practices from Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda? These frameworks help identify what your body thrives on.
3️⃣ Listen to Your Body – No expert, study, or trend can override your own experience. Pay attention to what makes you feel energised, strong, and well.
Health doesn’t have to feel like a guessing game. With the right tools and knowledge, you can learn to trust your body’s signals and make choices that truly support you.
