This episode is all about stomach acid or HCL(hydrochloric acid). 

Digestion starts with the sight, thought, or smell of food. When the brain anticipates an incoming meal, the vagus nerve sends a message to the stomach causing the release of acetylcholine. The binding of acetylcholine to G cells in the stomach starts the secretion of gastrin and, in combination with acetylcholine and histamine, stimulates parietal cells in the gastric glands of the stomach body to start secreting hydrochloric acid (HCl).

Acid in the stomach serves several purposes including helping break down food, create key enzymes to aide in digestion, and to help open and close key sphincters in the body. When we lack HCL we lack the ability to properly digest our food.

Topics of Discussion:
- What is HCL
- Why is HCL important for digestion
- Systems of low HCL
- How to test for low acid at home
- What can you do to help reset acid production
