From dinosaur cartilage to gluten-free unicorn tears, the wellness industry has gone off the rails. Drawing from viral content creator Caitlin Murray's (@BigTimeAdulting) hilarious take on modern health advice, we unpack why women's health has become so complicated and offer practical alternatives to the supplement-heavy, social-media-driven wellness culture.

Quote of the Episode: "The best health plan is the one that you can maintain long term."

Key Insights:

• Modern wellness culture creates overwhelming and often contradictory advice
• Social media amplifies health anxiety and pressure
• The wellness industrial complex keeps adding complexity and cost
• Simple, sustainable changes often work better than extreme measures
• There's a difference between purchasing progress and earning it
• Family involvement can make healthy choices more sustainable
• Most health improvements require either time or money investment
• The basics (movement, whole foods, sleep) still matter most

Action Steps for Parents:

1. Focus on sustainable, long-term health habits rather than quick fixes
2. Reduce social media consumption for better mental and physical health
