00:59:15
If you have bloating, reflux, low energy, constipation, or feel like every meal is a guessing game for your gut, this episode is going to make so many things finally click.

In this episode we cover
• What stomach acid actually is and why your body relies on it • The biggest myths about acid reflux and why “too much acid” is rarely the problem • The real signs of low stomach acid and how to tell the difference between low acid and true reflux • How stress, rushing meals, and under-eating weaken digestion • What low stomach acid does to nutrient absorption, energy, bowel movements, and your microbiome • Why so many people are given antacids when they actually need more support, not suppression • The risks of long term antacid or PPI use that no one talks about • Foods and habits that naturally support healthy stomach acid levels • Simple at home ways to get a sense of where your own stomach acid is at • Thoughts on ACV, digestive bitters, minerals, and other natural tools • When to work with a practitioner and the symptoms you should never ignore
If you are feeling
Bloated after almost every meal
Exhausted no matter how much you sleep
Constipated or dealing with unpredictable digestion
Foggy, puffy, or inflamed
Confused by your reflux symptoms
This episode will help you understand what your body is trying to tell you and where to start.
