334: Why Your Story Matters and the Cost of What Happens When It's Missed
Most wellness approaches name the symptom, land on a tidy explanation, apply generic solutions, and call it done. The diagnosis becomes the whole story. The before-and-after becomes the whole truth, sometimes, even when claiming a "root cause" approach was taken.

This episode is about why the story matters — what the real mechanisms are underneath a struggle and the cost of what happens when the story is missed.
