EP 619: This Valentine's Day, Ditch Your Heartburn and Show Your Colon Some Love with Dr. Kumar of Austin Gastro

In this episode, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined by Dr. Pradeep Kumar of Austin Gastro. Dr. Kumar is a gastroenterologist who treats diseases of the digestive system from heartburn to colon cancer. A healthy gastrointestinal system is usually taken for granted. But those who suffer from chronic or life-threatening GI issues know the importance of gut health. Acid reflux affects 20% of the population and can be as painful as cancer, but patients often rely on OTC drugs and delay medical care. Many also avoid the dreaded colonoscopy, an essential screening tool in both preventing and diagnosing colon cancer. If this is you, DON'T trust your gut--instead, see a specialist! To schedule an appointment, call 512-244-2273 (north offices) or 512-454-4588 (central offices), or visit them online. You can also learn more about the importance of preventative care for digestive health on Dr. Kumar's website!
