Why Wellness Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All — And How to Find What Works for You
“Just cut carbs.”
“Wake up at 5am.”
“Take this one supplement and you’ll feel better.”
Sound familiar?
The wellness world is full of advice — but the truth is, your body isn’t a copy-paste template. What works wonders for one person might backfire for another. And that’s not failure — it’s bio-individuality.
What Is Bio-Individuality?
Coined by health educators at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, bio-individuality is the idea that each person has unique nutritional, emotional, and lifestyle needs. It’s why two people can eat the same meal or follow the same routine — and feel completely different afterward.
Your wellness is shaped by:
Your genetics
Your hormones
Your gut microbiome
Your lifestyle, culture, and even climate
For Example
Research from Stanford University’s Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI) found that people can have drastically different blood sugar responses to the same foods — even something as basic as white bread vs. whole wheat bread (Zeevi et al., Cell, 2015).
Why One-Size Approaches Fail (Especially for Women)
Mainstream health advice often fails to account for:
-
Hormonal cycles (which affect energy, cravings, and inflammation)
-
PCOS, thyroid, or insulin resistance — conditions that need tailored approaches
-
Cultural foods and seasonal rhythms
Ayurveda, India’s ancient wellness science, has emphasized personalized healing for thousands of years — through doshas (vata, pitta, kapha), seasonal eating, and daily rituals tuned to your body's natural rhythms.
How to Find What Works for You
Here’s how to start crafting a personalized wellness plan — no trend-chasing required:
1. Observe Before You Optimize
Start a 7-day “body journal” to track how you feel after eating, sleeping, working out, or consuming certain herbs. Patterns greater than quick fixes.
2. Understand Your Hormones
Your hormones affect everything from mood and energy to digestion and skin. Syncing your lifestyle to your menstrual or circadian rhythm can reduce burnout and improve well-being.

Try this: Swap evening caffeine for spearmint tea, which is known to lower androgen levels (beneficial in PCOS).

3. Focus on Nourishment, Not Elimination
Instead of obsessing over what to cut out — carbs, dairy, gluten — shift toward what you can add to support your body. Think:
-
Turmeric for inflammation
-
Ashwagandha for cortisol balance
-
Healthy fats for hormone health
- Screen-free time for restful sleep
- Fennel Seeds for Digestion
- Black Pepper for better Nutrient Absorption

4. Build Gentle, Flexible Rituals
Healing doesn’t have to be hard. Begin with one ritual a day — tea before bed, a herbal eye mask after screens, 10 minutes of breathwork. Make it feel doable, not daunting.
