Conventional wisdom says that acid reflux, heartburn and GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) are the result of too much stomach acid. But, what if I told you that having too much stomach acid is very rare? In fact, as we age, we begin to produce less stomach acid. Surprisingly, most of the time, acid reflux, heartburn and GERD are the result of too little stomach acid.
Have you ever questioned that? Have you ever wondered why your antacid seems to only work for a little while? It’s because it is only quelling the symptoms, and not addressing the underlying cause of your discomfort.
I love to cook. I’m also a health coach, a path I chose after going through a health crisis which taught me the importance of eating healthy meals. Now, I want to combine the two — health coaching and cooking — to help people learn to cook healthy meals. To plan healthy meals. And to eat healthy meals. For more, please visit Your Cooking Coach.
