In This Episode:
Acid reflux is a common problem affecting millions, but what if the real issue isn’t too much stomach acid? In this episode of the Functional Nutrition Podcast, I reveal the surprising truth behind acid reflux and explains why most people are treating the wrong problem.
You’ll uncover how low stomach acid, stress, and poor eating habits might be at the root of your symptoms—and why taking medications like Prilosec and Nexium might not be the answer.
The Root Cause of Acid Reflux
Many people assume that acid reflux is caused by excessive stomach acid, but in this episode, I will break down how low stomach acid can actually trigger reflux symptoms.
By not producing enough acid, food doesn’t properly break down, causing gas buildup that pushes acid up into the esophagus. The result? That burning sensation we know as acid reflux.
What You Can Do About It
From correcting your eating habits to understanding hidden triggers like H. pylori, histamine intolerance, and SIBO, I share practical strategies to address the root causes of acid reflux. Tune in for easy, actionable tips you can start using today to improve your digestion and eliminate reflux symptoms for good.
If you’re tired of masking your symptoms with medications and ready to address the true cause of acid reflux, this episode is a must-listen!
