Gut health is the topic everyone is talking about and struggling with.

One of the most common (and misunderstood) symptoms? 

Acid reflux.

In this episode, I sit down with Allison Jordan, Bloating and Constipation Coach, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and Craniosacral Therapist, to unpack the real causes behind acid reflux and what you can do about it from a functional approach. 

Allison and I chat about: 

• What acid reflux actually is (and isn’t) 


• The main causes of acid reflux – it likely isn’t what you think! 


• Why low – not high – stomach acid is often the issue


• How to improve your stomach acid and what to look out for when doing so 


• The baking soda test: how to check your stomach acid at home


• Why proper diagnostic testing is key 


• The role of nutrients like zinc in gut health, especially stomach acid 


• How to start supporting your digest
