What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why symptoms can’t tell you if your acid is high or low Common root causes of stomach acid imbalance Why the baking soda test isn’t reliable What to focus on instead of micromanaging acid levels How to support your stomach so it can regulate itself naturally Let go of the stress around “figuring out” your acid levels and start focusing on what actually leads to long-term symptom relief.
