Episode 71: SPONSORED: Cornerstone Interventions for GERD with Victoria Albina

Take a second and think about this: what clinical presentation
would prompt you to prescribe cognitive behavioral coaching,
breathwork or meditation? Did GERD make your list? Along with
gentle, but powerful botanicals and nutraceuticals (IT’s Motility
Activator, DGL Chewables, Heartburn Advantage), these are
cornerstone interventions for GERD in the practice of Victoria
Albina, NP, MPH. Victoria operates from a patient empowerment
position, believing that it’s essential for lasting change in a
ubiquitous lifestyle condition such as GERD. We also cover
epidemiology (30% incidence in the US), root causes, laboratory—and
really interesting to me—the variable clinical presentations GERD
can take. Finally, are PPIs .. safe? Victoria discusses a recent
study that made the PR rounds. Take a listen, and be sure to like,
