My heart really goes out to you if you’re someone who has heartburn. That odd sensation is so vastly uncomfortable. I even knew someone who thought they were having a heart attack that turned out to be ordinary heartburn.
Last year, I suddenly started having heartburn and reflux in the evening. Every night, I take some Magnesium and vitamin B6 before bed, but I had added a new supplement called MotilPro to improve my gut motility.
I had to work the same clinical process I use with my clients on myself. It turned out the MotilPro was a huge trigger, and I also benefited from a very simple stomach acid support.
(This is a case-in-point argument for starting supplements one at a time! I talk more about how to do this properly in my earlier video Supplements to Help Digestion and IBS.)
The tragedy of heartburn is that it’s often quite simple to resolve.
Maybe you’ve been told to avoid fatty and fried foods, or to take acid-lowering medications. But even if you’ve tried all the low-hanging fruit, there are likely still pieces of the puzzle that haven’t been considered.
In fact, these curious puzzles that have you and your doctor scratching your heads are my favorite kind of challenges. As I always say, to solve these confusing digestive issues, we have to get down to business using the right APPROACH.
I want to help you figure out WHY you have heartburn, and therefore, what you can do to fix it.
It’s not applying a random list of techniques, but a systematic way of thinking about how your digestion works, and how we can support it.
So this week, I made you a short video with immediate relief tips for heartburn, so you can stop that discomfort straightaway.
But I take the conversation a step further to highlight how to think about changing the conditions that created the heartburn in the first place.
