095 | HEARTBURN…HARD TRUTHS, PART 1


Listen Later

Heartburn is common, but when it becomes chronic, it might be GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), a condition that affects nearly 1 in 5 adults. In this episode, we break down what GERD really is, why it matters, and the risks of leaving it untreated - like esophageal cancer.

We also dig into the conventional approach: antacids, H2 blockers, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). While these acid reflux treatments offer symptom relief, long-term use has been linked to serious issues like B12 deficiency, osteoporosis, kidney disease, SIBO, and more.

You’ll learn how these medications work, why they’re often overprescribed, and what functional medicine considers when addressing heartburn at the root - rather than masking symptoms.

If you're relying on Tums or PPIs long-term, this one’s for you.
