In This Episode:
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most commonly prescribed medications in the world, often recommended to treat acid reflux and heartburn. But what most people don’t realize is that these medications come with serious long-term risks, including cancer, heart disease, and nutrient deficiencies.
In this eye-opening episode, Dr. David Jockers reveals the hidden dangers of PPIs and why they may be doing more harm than good.

Why PPIs Aren’t the Solution You Think
While PPIs do relieve the symptoms of acid reflux, they don’t address the root cause—and they can even make things worse. Dr. Jockers explains how low stomach acid, not high, is often the culprit behind reflux.
Long-term use of PPIs can interfere with your body’s ability to absorb essential nutrients like magnesium, calcium, and vitamin B12, putting you at risk for other chronic conditions.

A Natural Approach to Digestive Health
In this episode, Dr. Jockers shares natural strategies to manage acid reflux without relying on harmful medications. From diet changes to lifestyle adjustments, you’ll discover effective ways to restore healthy digestion and avoid the dangers of PPIs. If you’ve been on PPIs for years, this episode is a must-listen to protect your health and start healing from the inside out.
