Have you ever felt like health is an endless puzzle—where every piece you find adds more confusion instead of clarity? Each step forward feels like two steps back, leaving you stuck in a cycle of frustration. I've been there, too, in the endless negative loop created by a faulty health story.

When you're in this place, it's easy to feel like a victim—like your body has failed you and no system marketed to "fix" you ever works. This mindset traps us in a cycle of confusion and defeat, where problems seem bigger than solutions, and health feels out of reach.

I don't want to dramatize this. In fact, this is about stepping away from the drama of health and looking at it through a clearer lens. I understand what it's like to feel stuck and want health but never quite achieve it.

What I didn't realize then—and wouldn't have chosen to see—was how much my beliefs and the stories I told myself shaped the outcomes I experienced.
