Why Your Health Problems Keep Happening

If your health strategy involves symptom suppression or “wait and see” advice—it's time to upgrade.

Bandaid solutions don't work. They delay resolution. And the problem? It almost always returns—bigger, harder to treat, and more disruptive.

Here’s how to do it properly.

1. Be thorough

Start by ruling out what it isn’t in order to get to what it is. Run through the differential diagnoses. Ask what else this could be. Don’t stop at one obvious cause—dig deeper. There can be multiple contributing factors at play that all need to be addressed.Thorough testing ensures you don’t miss something important.

2. Do the right tests

Not all tests are created equal. Accurate, evidence-based testing gives you real answers—not vague possibilities. Cheap tests are expensive in the long run when they miss the mark.

3. Don’t trust ‘in range’

Most reference ranges are statistical averages—not markers of optimal health for real people experiencing signs and symptoms that need explaining. You need someone who knows what each marker means for you, in your context and what optimal looks like. 

4. Connect the dots

Real health care is about pattern recognition. One symptom is rarely isolated. Fatigue, gut issues, mood changes, skin flare-ups—they’re often linked. Seeing those links? That’s the art and science of good care.

5. Strategise wisely

A good plan doesn’t tackle everything at once. It targets root causes in the right order—what’s urgent, what’s foundational, and what can wait.

6. Personalise everything

No protocol works for everyone. Two people with the same diagnosis need entirely different treatment plans. Why? Because we treat people, not conditions.

If you’ve been stuck in symptom-chasing or short-term fixes, it’s time to think differently.
This is how you build real, lasting health. No bandaids. No guesswork. Just a personalised, strategic approach that respects your biology—and your story.
