If you’re taking a PPI (like omeprazole or the “little purple pill”) to manage heartburn or reflux—and your labs keep getting worse—this episode is for you. Today we uncover the surprising truth about conventional heartburn treatments, the damage they can do to your gut and kidneys, and what you can do to start healing from the inside out.

What You’ll Learn:

• The link between poor digestion, gut inflammation, and kidney decline
• What the research says: real data on how PPI use damages kidney tissue
• Natural, functional alternatives: HCl, digestive enzymes, and gut-healing support
• A real-life story of freedom: how Lisa ditched the PPI and healed her gut + kidneys
• A faith-based reminder that God didn’t design you to live broken—He designed you to heal
