Think PPIs Will Solve Your Reflux? Think Again!

One of the biggest misconceptions about GERD and LPR is that PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) are the ultimate fix. The truth? PPIs only reduce acid—they don’t address the root causes like:

Pepsin, the enzyme responsible for throat irritation and inflammation.
LES dysfunction, which allows reflux to happen in the first place.

That’s why so many people stay on medication but still struggle with reflux symptoms.

In my 3-Week Reflux Program, you’ll learn how to strengthen the LES, neutralize pepsin, and heal your digestive system with proven natural solutions.

Take back control and finally feel the relief you’ve been waiting for.

Good digestion is the key to better health, and Ayurveda offers powerful yet simple ways to keep your Agni (digestive fire) strong.

Here are some habits—some well-known, some unexpected—to help you improve digestion naturally:
Tongue scraping every morning – Removes toxins (Ama) from the tongue and signals the digestive system to wake up.
Start your day with warm lemon water – This wakes up digestion and gently stimulates Agni. (not recommended for those with LPR)
Eat your biggest meal at lunchtime – Your digestion is strongest when the sun is at its peak, so this is the best time for heavier foods.
Avoid drinking cold water with meals – Ice-cold drinks weaken Agni and slow digestion. Opt for warm or room-temperature water instead.
Chew your food thoroughly – Digestion starts in the mouth. The better you chew, the less work your stomach has to do.
Eat in a calm environment – Avoid distractions like screens or stressful conversations while eating. A relaxed mind supports a strong digestive fire.
Sip ginger tea before meals – Fresh ginger tea can stoke your digestive fire and prepare your stomach for food.
Follow a regular eating schedule – Eating at the same times each day trains your body to digest more efficiently.
Avoid overeating – Stop eating when you’re about 80% full to give your stomach space to properly break down food.
Walk for 5-10 minutes after meals – A gentle stroll aids digestion and prevents sluggishness.
Practice deep breathing & stress management – Stress weakens Agni, so techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation can help keep digestion strong.
Avoid mixing raw and cooked foods in the same meal – Ayurveda teaches that different digestive processes are needed for raw vs. cooked foods, which can lead to sluggish digestion when combined.
Eat with your hands (when possible!) – Ayurvedic wisdom suggests that eating with your hands connects you more deeply to your food, signals digestion to begin, and helps you eat more mindfully.

What’s Really Causing Your Reflux Symptoms?

Reflux isn’t just about acid. If you’re tired of managing symptoms like burning pain or constant throat clearing, it’s time to look deeper.

Here’s what many people don’t know:

✅ The LES (lower esophageal sphincter) might not be working as it should, allowing reflux to happen.
✅ The enzyme pepsin causes damage when it travels to your throat.
✅ PPIs and antacids only reduce acid—they don’t address the root causes like LES dysfunction or pepsin.

My 3-Week Reflux Program is here to guide you through improving the underlying issues, not just masking symptoms. We’ll explore how diet, stress, and lifestyle changes can bring lasting relief.

Stop managing symptoms—let’s work on solutions.

Healing GERD or LPR isn’t just about changing your diet or taking supplements—it’s a process of transformation that happens in stages. Understanding this can help you stay on track when things get tough.

1️⃣ Motivation – The Catalyst for Change
Every transformation starts with motivation—something that pushes you to take action.
• Maybe you’re tired of the burning, hoarseness, or bloating.
• Maybe you’ve realized that medications aren’t fixing the root cause.
• Or maybe you just want to enjoy food again without fear of reflux.
This motivation gets you started, but motivation alone doesn’t last—especially when symptoms improve or progress slows.

2️⃣ Contemplation – The Mental Tug-of-War
Once motivation fades, you start questioning:
• Do I really want to keep doing this?
• Is the effort worth it?
• What if I plateau? What if this doesn’t work?
This is the critical turning point—where many people either give up or push forward.

3️⃣ Commitment – Going “All In”
If you decide to fully commit, you break free from the cycle of starting and stopping.
• You stop looking for quick fixes and focus on long-term healing.
• You realize that progress isn’t always linear—but small, consistent actions add up.

And once you reach your goal? The process begins again—not because you failed, but because transformation is ongoing.

Where Are YOU on the Wheel of Transformation?

Do you experience trouble swallowing?

Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) can be a sign of poor vagal tone. The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in coordinating the muscles involved in swallowing, so when vagal function is impaired, it can lead to:

🔹 Delayed or uncoordinated swallowing – Food or liquids may feel like they’re getting stuck.
🔹 Weakened esophageal motility – The esophagus doesn’t contract properly to push food down.
🔹 Reduced LES function – A weak lower esophageal sphincter can contribute to reflux, further irritating the esophagus.
🔹 Increased throat tension – Poor vagal tone can cause tightness or spasms in the throat.

Dysphagia is often seen in LPR sufferers because poor vagus nerve function affects both digestion and throat coordination. Stimulating the vagus nerve through deep breathing, humming, gargling, or even swallowing exercises can help improve symptoms.

Have you experienced dysphagia with reflux? If so, strengthening the vagus nerve may be an important part of your healing process!
