Summary
In this episode, Dr. David Jockers dives into the dangers of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), one of the most commonly prescribed medications worldwide. You’ll learn why PPIs, though effective for acid reflux, can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, cancer, and nutrient deficiencies. Dr. Jockers explains how these medications only mask symptoms without addressing the root cause.
Discover how low stomach acid, not high acid, is often behind acid reflux and how PPIs can worsen digestion and overall health. Dr. Jockers shares practical strategies to naturally manage acid reflux, focusing on lifestyle and dietary changes rather than relying on medication.
Find out how long-term use of PPIs can increase your risk of early death, as well as the alternative solutions that actually promote better digestion and overall health. Tune in to understand why healing your gut should be the priority over simply masking symptoms.
