Are you tired of chasing your acid reflux symptoms with PPI's, annoying food restrictions like the GERD diet, or hyper-vigilance about when and how much food you eat?

When you ask your doctor if there's ANYTHING else you can do to help your acid reflux, do they tell you that you just need to pop another antacid, avoid trigger foods, or sleep on a wedge pillow?

Do you wish there was a solution to acid reflux that was permanent, so you could eat late at night without worrying about a reflux flare, or that you could eat your favorite foods again without feeling punished for it later?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.

On today's episode, my goal is to lay out acid reflux in one MASTER episode so that, by the end of it, you can have a map for exactly how to find, and deal with, the root cause(s) of your acid reflux.

In this episode, I’m talking about:

• The real causes of acid reflux and GERD symptoms (and why it’s not “too much acid”)
• The difference between acid reflux, GERD, LPR, and silent reflux — and why this episode can help ALL of these diagnoses
• Why standard acid reflux drugs (PPIs, acid reducers) give quick relief but cause long-term problems
• How the acid reflux diet and GERD diet miss the root cause
• And, most importantly, 2 steps to reversing your acid reflux (for good!)

If you're tired of relying on medication to manage your acid reflux and want freedom from your stomach terror - then this episode is for you.
