The Root Cause of Reflux with Michelle S...

AMANDA MONTALVO
About this episode

In this episode, I am interviewing Michelle Shapiro, an integrative functional registered dietitian who's going to unravel the confusion that often surrounds reflux treatment. We'll explore why conventional medicine's approach to reflux may not always be in your stomach's best interest, and why you may sometimes need to fuel the fire. Michelle helps us understand the contributing factors of reflux symptoms – ranging from a burning throat and chest pain to that nagging feeling of hunger paired with nausea. Michelle also cautions about supplements and touches on the complex relationship between pregnancy, hiatal hernias, and how managing stress and histamine levels plays a vital role in your health.

If you've ever wondered about the connection between stress, your thyroid, and the importance of listening to your body – you won't want to miss this episode. We also have a special Q&A waiting for you over at patreon.com/hormonehealingrd.

As always, this episode is for informational purposes only.  Please talk with your healthcare provider to figure out what's best for you. 

This episode covers:

  • Common symptoms of acid reflux
  • Causes of high and low stomach acid levels
  • Connection between histamines, stomach acid, and acid-reducing drugs
  • The impact of pregnancy on reflux and histamine intolerance
  • Strategies for reflux relief and dietary management
