Amy Larocca's book, "How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure at a Time," explores the duality of modern wellness culture through her personal experience with a controversial colonic treatment.

As more Americans prioritize wellness, it reflects a broader societal shift towards self-care despite existing healthcare challenges, linking wellness with national health movements amidst political changes.
Larocca's journey into the wellness industry reveals a tension between skepticism and a desire for well-being, embodying the complexities of modern self-care and health.
In the wellness world, the growth has surged, especially among women, with the industry expanding into a $6.3 trillion market and redefining what health means.
