In this episode, we unpack why heartburn and reflux are so common—and why they’re rarely caused by “too much stomach acid.” We walk through the real drivers we see in patients, from nervous system dysfunction and food sensitivities to gut inflammation and infections, and why symptom-masking meds often miss the root cause. Understanding what’s actually happening can be the difference between managing heartburn and getting rid of it for good.

In this episode, we talk about the big difference between the food here and the food in Europe and why a lot of patients feel fine eating pasta and pizza on vacation but come home and their gut reacts negatively again. We walk through legitimate reasons for why that may be, from additives and dyes to pesticides, ultra processed food, wheat, regulations, and lifestyle. Sometimes understanding these differences helps explain why food just feels better on your body over there than it does here.

In this episode, wanted to jump in and talk about other modalities we don’t always spend a lot of time on. From traditional chiropractic care and massage therapy to physical therapy, hormone replacement, and certain medications, we discuss what cases we’ve referred for before and why. Sometimes incorporating these things is what helps people feel better when we’ve done everything we can.
