Most people think of stomach acid as "bad" - something to suppress or get rid of. But the truth is, stomach acid is essential for healthy digestion and overall wellness.

In this episode, I'll unpack the misunderstood role of stomach acid and why low stomach acid is often the real problem behind symptoms like reflux, bloating, and nutrient deficiencies. You'll learn:

• What stomach acid actually does (hint: it's not just about breaking down food)

• The surprising ways low stomach acid can show up in your health

• Why antacids and acid blockers may relieve symptoms but worsen the root issue

• The connection between stomach acid, nutrient absorption, and gut health

• Practical ways to support healthy stomach acid levels naturally
