## Resource

More isn’t always better — yet modern wellness culture often tells us otherwise. From endless pills to powders promising perfection, supplement obsession has become the new status symbol. But at what cost? In this episode of polished beauty podcast, we unpack the truth about supplement culture — and why sometimes, the healthiest thing you can do… is take less. We explore the booming phenomenon of supplement culture — a wellness trend that often blurs the line between self-care and self-enslavement, the pursuit of optimal health can turn into over-optimization, unpacking the psychological and physiological toll of over-supplementation. We discuss a balanced approach — highlighting five essential supplements that can truly support health and longevity when used with intention and moderation. This conversation empowers you to redefine what “wellness” really means — grounded in science, not hype. Let's get polished!
