“Proof That Wellness Phases Are Very Real (And Very Funny in Hindsight)”

It started with a spring cleaning binge. You know the kind — you’re looking for a screwdriver, and two hours later you’re knee-deep in expired protein powders and mystery tinctures.

Buried in the back of my kitchen drawer, I found what can only be described as the graveyard of past wellness ambitions.

There was magnesium powder from my “sleep better” phase. Ashwagandha pills from the “balance cortisol” era. Chlorophyll drops, which I genuinely thought would give me clear skin and make me glow like an Instagram filter.

And don’t even get me started on the vitamin B complex. I remember swearing it gave me energy — but judging by how full the bottle still was, I must have forgotten that belief fairly quickly.

What It Made Me Realize:

• Health is personal — and sometimes hilariously trendy
• We often chase fixes instead of building habits
• It’s okay to outgrow a wellness idea — it means you’re learning

I didn’t toss everything. A few things still had potential — and memories. But mostly, I just laughed. Not in a judgmental way, but in a “wow, look how much I’ve tried” way.

And honestly? That drawer made me proud. It reminded me that I’ve been paying attention. That I’ve cared enough to experiment. That I’ve evolved.

Here’s a quick video that captures the same vibe — someone unpacking their supplement stash and rating what worked (and what didn’t): https://www.youtube.com/embed/ASkrzAZRNgQ

So if you’ve got a “vitamin drawer” of your own? Don’t feel bad about it. Smile at it. It’s proof that you’ve been in the game — even if some phases only lasted a week.
