In this episode, Dr. Will Cole sits down with Dr. Daryl Gioffre to break down the real root causes behind reflux, bloating, sinus issues, and throat symptoms that often get mislabeled. They also discuss why common reflux medications aren’t intended for long-term use, and what the research suggests about chronic suppression of stomach acid. Plus, Dr. Gioffre shares his personal story of hidden mold exposure and the gut-brain impact that followed.
