#19: Exploring a Natural Alternative to Acid Blockers for Functional Dyspepsia


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re diving into a fascinating research study that compares Omeprazole - a common acid-blocking medication - with a natural alternative you may already have in your supplement cabinet: curcumin.

If you’ve ever wanted a science-backed reason to consider alternatives to PPIs, or if you’re managing symptoms like bloating, nausea, or stomach pain and want options beyond prescriptions, this episode will show you what’s possible.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • What functional dyspepsia is and why it’s often dismissed with a quick prescription

  • The study design comparing curcumin to Omeprazole, and what the results revealed

  • How to safely consider curcumin as an alternative (including dosage and forms)

  • Why supplements alone aren’t enough - and what else your body needs to truly heal

    This episode will give you evidence-based hope and a practical next step if you’re exploring more natural routes to healing your stomach.
