https://youtu.be/FTZ5dMEJfLk Part 1 of a series on reflux, acid, and whole-body health. If you deal with reflux, you’ve probably been handed the same story: your stomach makes too much acid, it splashes up where it shouldn’t, and the fix is to block the acid. That story is so common it feels like settled fact. It

Most people with insomnia don’t know they have it. Not because the signs aren’t there — but because the signs have become so familiar they no longer register as signs. The TV stays on until midnight. The phone comes to bed. Sleep gets pushed later and later until late becomes the schedule. Waking at 3am

Nobody is telling you this. Not your doctor. Not the diet industry. Not the commercials for Ozempic and Wegovy that are everywhere right now.
