"Not really in all honesty because until you take control of your own health and go to your own doctor and have your own doctor tell you what's going to work for you"
About this Quote
The intent is pragmatic and protective. Jones is pushing back against secondhand health advice - the friend-of-a-friend miracle regimen, the celebrity-endorsed fix, the internet thread that pretends to be a medical chart. Instead, she frames health as agency: “take control,” “your own doctor,” “tell you what’s going to work for you.” The repetition of “your own” matters. It’s less about wellness culture’s abstract “journey” and more about ownership in a system that often treats patients as passive recipients, especially women and especially public figures whose bodies are treated like public property.
The subtext is also reputational. As an entertainer whose health has been publicly discussed, Jones knows how quickly personal medical narratives become content for strangers. She’s drawing a boundary: your body is not a debate panel.
Contextually, it fits a media era where health information is abundant and trust is scarce. The line isn’t elegant, but that’s why it works: it sounds like someone grabbing the viewer by the shoulders and insisting that expertise isn’t crowdsourced, it’s consulted.
