E38: The Real Cause of Heartburn: Understanding Acid Reflux, GERD, and Natural Remedies
Acid reflux is a common issue, but do you know what’s really causing it? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the myths and facts about acid reflux and GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). We’ll explore why low stomach acid—not too much—might actually be the root cause of your heartburn, despite what you may have been told.
Join me as we discuss how stomach acid levels change with age, why PPIs and acid-suppressing medications are overprescribed, and the surprising long-term side effects of these drugs. Plus, we’ll cover common symptoms, everyday triggers to avoid, and natural remedies that could provide lasting relief without relying on medication. Whether you experience occasional reflux or chronic symptoms, this episode will empower you with practical tools to tackle acid reflux naturally and effectively.
