Introducing… The Acid Reflux Solution Workshop
A 3-part series to stop managing and start healing acid reflux (from the root).
The first time I took a sip of that frizzy water + alka-seltzer combo was after a slice of double cheese pizza. That little triangle paradoxically brought my heart rate up while also knocking me out as if I had taken a sleeping pill. When my head touched the pillow all the juices propelled up, burning my insides and hurting my throat. I bet you remember the first time you had acid reflux, too.
It marked a ‘before’ and ‘after’ for my gut health.
Conventional medicine would straight up say you can’t heal acid reflux– that this is a forever condition that can only managed. If you’ve had the “pleasure” of visiting your PCP to get some guidance, you were probably given (1) a handout of foods to avoid, (2) a recommendation to prop up your bed, and (3) got prescribed anything from pepsin to one of the many medications ending in ‘zole’.
But while doctors take 25 years to adapt new research into their practice1, we know that acid reflux can be healed, not just managed. In fact, healing acid reflux (or GERD) is at the core of my practice and it’s the best way to ensure prevention of more serious ailments, such as:
H.pylori infection, which can lead to gastric cancer.
Nutrient deficiencies, including Anemia unresponsive to iron.
Osteoporosis (PPIs prevent calcium absorption)
Other GI infections such as C.diff.
Affecting nearly 1/3 of U.S adults2, acid reflux is the most common gut issue in the country. You’re about to exit that statistic.😎
WELCOME
Welcome to The Acid Reflux Solution Substack workshop! (wow, what a mouthful!). This the beginning of a 3-part series designed to help you heal acid reflux without the silly generic advice of: “just avoid acidic foods”, or “eat 5 small meals a day”. Respectfully, these are not solutions– they are [barely] damage control.
Whether you get acid reflux daily or on occasion, you’re in the right place (in fact– you’ll learn why any amount of acid reflux is a massive ticking bomb ready to explode and wreak havoc your health.)
This workshop contains supplements, nutrition tips, and a nuanced perspective on acid reflux and healing it from the root– because basic advice only keeps us stuck in symptom management while filling the pockets of the PPI industry, currently worth 3.5B3 and continuously banking on our GI pain and discomfort.
→ READ PART 1 HERE - Introduction + stomach acid + your root cause
→ READ PART 2 HERE - Trigger foods, diet for acid reflux, managing with food.
→ READ PART 3 HERE - therapeutic nutrients that heal
How this works:
This 3-part workshop is based on the work I do with 1:1 clients. I’ll pull the veil on process that has successfully helped dozens of people heal acid reflux naturally. That being said, this is no magic pill and there’s an order of operations that *mussst* be followed. More on that later.
The workshop starts November 17th and will go through December 19th. Upgrade now to get it in your inbox (you can revisit/have it forever as a paying subscriber).
With every post you will get 1-3 simple “healing steps” to implement. These steps are designed to build on each other—you’ll spend the first two weeks incorporating the initial steps into your routine, then add the next set when they arrive. The result? A deeply sustainable way of habit formation to avoid overwhelm and ensure this doesn’t disrupt your already-busy life.
Deal?
By successfully completing each step for at least 4 weeks, you can expect a reduction in acid reflux– anywhere from 25% to fully healing. The gap is wide because as the cliche goes, everybody is different.
This is Part Zero aka, your introduction. Here’s what we’ll cover in our next posts:
Part 1 (drops on November 17th)
Understanding the true root cause of acid reflux. Auditing what caused your unique symptoms and learning new easy lifestyle adjustments to support your healing.
Part 2 (drops on December 3rd)
Assessing what’s safe vs. trigger foods. How to deal with flare ups and 10 acid-reflux safe recipes.
Part 3 (drops on December 19th)
The ultimate supplement protocol to heal the gastric mucosa. A detailed overview of what supplements to take and which ones to skip to heal from acid reflux.
Part 4 (maybe?)
Q&A or FAQs section? A case study? I’m pretty sure there will be more ground to cover.
I’m incredibly excited to bring this to you! Paying subscribers can expect the first part of this workshop in their inbox on Monday November 17th. Let’s get on it ASAP to [hopefully] start seeing results by Turkey day ;)
