Today is World Digestive Day and the perfect opportunity for me to launch a new mini-series in the Gut Doctor Podcast. Advanced Practice Providers are the backbone of gastroenterology, transforming patient care today and tomorrow. Welcome to the APP Playbook, a special mini-series where I sit down with leading APPs to unpack the critical insights, clinical strategies, and their unique perspectives shaping patient care today.

Today's inaugural episode kicks off with a true powerhouse: Monica Nandwani, NP! Our conversation delves into the practical management of acid reflux disease, focusing on the approach to diagnosis, patient history, lifestyle changes, medication therapy, and the role of PCABs. It also covers the criteria for routine upper endoscopy and provides final tips for managing GERD effectively.
