Have you ever followed all the advice, done the research, and made what seemed like the right decision, only to discover it didn't produce the results you expected?
Sometimes the problem isn't a lack of information. It's not knowing how to determine what actually fits.
In this episode of Catalyst Conversations, I welcome Jennell Cook, creator of Simple Health Test, for a conversation about moving beyond assumptions, questioning conventional approaches, and developing greater confidence in how we make decisions.
Jennell's journey into wellness began with something deeply personal: watching her mother struggle with ongoing health challenges despite doing everything she was told to do.
That experience sparked decades of exploration into holistic wellness, eventually leading Jennell and her mother to establish a health food store and wellness clinic where they supported thousands of people.
Through those experiences, Jennell developed a body-led verification approach built around a simple philosophy:
When in doubt, test it out.
Throughout this conversation, we explore why even well-intentioned wellness recommendations don't always produce the expected results and why personalization matters when deciding what to try next.
Jennell introduces four questions that guide her approach:
-
Where do we start?
-
What supports the desired outcome?
-
What might be interfering?
-
What works well together?
And while her work centers on wellness, the conversation reaches far beyond it.
Because how often do we experience the same challenges in business, leadership, and everyday life?
We gather information, seek expert opinions, follow successful people's strategies, and sometimes end up more overwhelmed than when we started.
Jennell and Desi explore the difference between having information and developing discernment, why borrowing someone else's successful formula doesn't guarantee alignment, and how small experiments can create meaningful learning.
You'll also hear Jennell share how she applied her own philosophy to choosing social media platforms rather than simply following what experts recommended.
The deeper lesson?
Confidence doesn't always come from having the answer. Sometimes it comes from having a process for discovering your next step.
This conversation is an invitation to question assumptions, become more intentional with your energy, and recognize that what works beautifully for someone else may not be what works for you.
Whether you're a wellness professional, entrepreneur, leader, or someone navigating a decision with too many possibilities, there's something here worth considering.
Because clarity isn't always about knowing more.
Sometimes it's about knowing what to test next.
