Your Gut: The Second Brain
The digestive system does much more than process food. It houses 70% of your immune system and produces most of your serotonin (the "happy hormone"). When gut health suffers, so does your overall well-being.
Common Digestive Disorders
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Alternating constipation and diarrhea
- Bloating and gas
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Triggered by stress and certain foods
Acid Reflux (GERD)
- Heartburn and chest pain
- Regurgitation
- Difficulty swallowing
- Chronic cough
Chronic Gastritis
- Upper abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Bloating after meals

Why PPIs and Antacids Aren't the Answer
Long-term use of acid-suppressing medications can:
- Reduce nutrient absorption (B12, calcium, magnesium)
- Increase infection risk
- Cause rebound hyperacidity
- Mask underlying conditions
