The wellness industry will always have something new to sell you — red light masks, cold plunge tubs, vagus nerve stimulators, hydrogen water bottles, sleep maxing gadgets. And honestly? Some of them might even be worth it. But how do you know?
In this final episode of the Common Sense series, I'm giving you something more valuable than a product review: a framework for thinking. Seven questions to ask yourself before you buy anything — so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and yes, a little healthy skepticism.
In this episode:

Why the right tool isn't always the best tool — and how to match a product to your actual needs and lifestyle
A honest conversation about privilege, economics, and what else that money could do for your health
How to make sure your wellness choices align with your values and what God is calling you to right now
