## Resource

In today's episode we're exposing a widespread medical misconception: the idea that acid reflux is caused by too much stomach acid. We dive into how low acidity actually prevents your stomach from sealing properly, leading to painful heartburn. You’ll learn about the dangerous side effects of long-term PPI use, ranging from nutrient deficiencies to a 19% increased risk of death. We also explore natural solutions, such as avoiding foods that weaken the stomach's opening and why simple lifestyle shifts like adjusted meal timing can offer profound relief. === REFERENCES === Exposing The Great Acid Reflux Scam The Forgotten Side of Medicine Index === Support our work.
