When Does Focusing on Gut Health Become Unhealthy?

Brooke describes how wellness culture can lead us down a path that makes the symptoms we are trying to "fix" worse. For example, we are bombarded by messages that the "right diet" will heal the gut and is a panacea for a myriad of medically unexplained symptoms. But with so many conflicting messages about what the "right diet" actually is, we are left confused and frustrated.
