096 | HEARTBURN…HARD TRUTHS PART 2: FUNCTIONAL FIXES & HOW TO WEAN OFF ACID BLOCKERS

In Part 2 of our heartburn deep dive, we shift the focus from conventional treatments to functional solutions. We explore why reflux might not be caused by too much acid—but too little—and how root causes like H. pylori, SIBO, stress, or poor motility can be behind your symptoms.We walk through functional tools like betaine HCl, the baking soda test, and GI testing, as well as how to identify food triggers and start healing the gut through a structured, 4-step approach.If you're looking to get off PPIs or H2 blockers safely, we share a realistic tapering strategy to avoid rebound symptoms, plus supplements, dietary changes, and lifestyle shifts to support digestion during the process.Don’t guess and self-treat—this episode is packed with practical, root-cause guidance for lasting relief.Contact us:⁠⁠⁠Andrea⁠⁠⁠ - [email protected]⁠⁠⁠Ashley⁠⁠⁠- [email protected]
