Acid reflux and GERD isn't about “too much stomach acid”. Your common solution of popping a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) may be doing more harm than good.

In this episode of Becca Babbles, I break down:

• What GERD and gastric reflux actually are
• How proton pump inhibitors work (and why they’re so commonly prescribed)
• The hidden impact PPIs can have on your gut microbiome, digestion, and nutrient absorption
• Long-term consequences of suppressing stomach acid
• Practical, root-cause-focused alternatives to support digestion naturally
• How to manage reflux flare-ups without relying solely on medication

If you’re dealing with chronic heartburn, bloating, reflux, or digestive discomfort or you’ve been on PPIs long-term and want to understand what’s really going on inside your body this episode is for you.

This is not about fear or shame. It’s about education, empowerment, and giving your gut what it actually needs to heal.

This week on Becca Babbles, we’re diving into the two major players in gut health that most people overlook — the gut microbiome and gut motility. These two systems work hand-in-hand, and when one’s off, your entire digestive system feels it.

We’ll break down what the gut microbiome actually is, how gut motility impacts your digestion, and why your supplements might not be working if you don’t address both. You’ll also learn how the enteric nervous system (ENS) acts as the communication hub between your brain and gut and how to start improving issues like constipation, diarrhea, and bloating naturally.

If you’ve ever wondered why your gut won’t heal no matter what probiotic you try, this episode is your gut health wake-up call.

Ever wonder if your “ideal posture” or “dream body” is actually working against you?

In this episode, I breaks down the sneaky ways that chasing aesthetics (like constantly sucking in your stomach or arching your back to make your booty pop 😉) can cause pain, dysfunction, and poor movement patterns.

You’ll learn:

✨ How sucking in impacts your breathing, movement, and even your mood

✨ The connection between your pelvic floor, diaphragm, and movement efficiency

✨ Why sticking your booty out isn’t helping your posture or your pain

✨ What to do instead to build strength, confidence, and functional aesthetics that feel good

This episode is a reality check for anyone who wants to look strong and move well without sacrificing their body’s natural function for the sake of appearance.
