How to Tell Your Gut Isn’t Healthy

The human race has been listening to the gut for as long as we’ve had axioms — what do you do when your belly rumbles?

You eat.

What do you do when you go with your gut instinct?

You listen to your emotions. 

What do you do when there are butterflies in your stomach?

But no matter what, we heed the gut.
