🎙️ Acid Reflux & Indigestion — Natural Relief Through Diet, Habits & Herbs
🌿 With Brett Elliott, Medical Herbalist

Do you suffer from acid reflux, heartburn, or indigestion? You’re not alone — up to 25% of the Western population experiences these uncomfortable symptoms monthly.

In this 20-minute episode, I uncover the true causes of reflux and indigestion (it’s not always “too much acid”!), and share a natural roadmap for healing your gut — through food, timing, lifestyle shifts, and powerful herbal allies.

This episode blends science, ancient wisdom, and practical insight to empower you with tools that actually work — without relying on long-term medications.

💥 In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ What really causes acid reflux (hint: it’s often low stomach acid)
✅ Why large meals, late-night snacking, and fried foods worsen symptoms
✅ Common symptoms beyond heartburn — including bad breath, nausea, bloating, and even tooth erosion
✅ How reflux overlaps with IBS, constipation, and dysbiosis
✅ The dangers of over-the-counter antacids and what studies reveal about dietary fixes
✅ How changing your meal frequency (e.g. 2 meals a day or small frequent meals) can reverse symptoms
✅ The surprising power of papaya, pineapple, and kiwifruit enzymes
✅ Herbal allies for healing reflux and protecting the gut lining:

• Licorice root (DGL) – coats and heals the esophagus
• Chamomile & ginger – relax and soothe the digestive tract
• Fennel & caraway – reduce gas, pressure, and bloating
• Slippery elm & marshmallow root – demulcent herbs to shield and repair

🍽️ Plus:

✔️ Which foods to avoid (e.g. fried foods, soft drinks, alcohol, and fast food)
 ✔️ How a Mediterranean-style diet reduces GERD risk
✔️ The link between reflux and hiatus hernia
✔️ Lifestyle tips to relieve pressure on your diaphragm and LES

🌟 Whether you’re a health professional, herbalist, or just tired of recurring reflux, this episode gives you the insights you need to start healing — naturally.
