What if your gut symptoms aren’t just about food—or detox protocols—but about something deeper your body has been trying to say all along?

In this episode of your body speaks, Dr. Brook continues the conversation from last week’s discussion on detox safety by exploring gut signals through the lens of the four pillars of health: physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental.

Through a vulnerable personal story and clear, practical guidance, Dr. Brook explains why unresolved stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation can directly impact digestion—and why chasing diets and detoxes alone can keep you stuck.

You’ll learn how to tell whether your gut symptoms are reacting to food or stress, why confusing the two leads to more overwhelm, and how to take simple, body-led steps toward clarity instead of control.

This episode is an invitation to stop guessing, stop overriding your body, and start listening with discernment and trust.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why gut issues aren’t always rooted in food—even when symptoms feel physical

• Why detoxes and supplements can fail when emotional and nervous system signals are ignored

Your body isn’t betraying you—and it isn’t broken.
It’s communicating.
