Back to EpisodesS4E9: Before You Take It: The Hidden Effects of Acid-Reducing Meds
Description
What if reflux isn't caused by too much stomach acid—but not enough?
In this episode, two PharmDs unpack what PPIs and antacids are actually doing inside your body, why they're meant to be short-term, and how long-term use can quietly impact digestion, minerals, hormones, and immune health—especially for women.
We talk about the root cause behind reflux, why symptom suppression often backfires, and what gentle, foundational support can look like when your body needs healing—not just relief.
If you've been told this is "just how it is"… this conversation may change how you see your symptoms—and your path forward.
