Did you know that acid reflux occurs when your stomach contents flow back into the oesophagus. This is not necessarily due to their being too much acid but can be due to an issue with the Lower Oesophageal Sphincter.

This ring of muscle at the base of the oesophagus opens to allow the foods we swallow to enter the stomach and should close to contain the stomach contents until we next swallow. This muscle can be damaged - as seen with a hiatus hernia - but can also be affected by diet and lifestyle too.

Foods like chocolate, as well as coffee and alcohol all cause the muscle to relax making it easier for reflux to occur. Avoiding these foods especially close to bedtime can help reduce your reflux symptoms.

If you suffer with acid reflux and want some help to take control pop the word REFLUX in the comments.

Did you know this week is Acid Reflux Awareness week? Persistent heartburn, indigestion and reflux lasting 3 weeks or more can increase the risk of Barrett’s Oesophagus and oesophageal cancer. If you have prolonged symptoms it is important to get checked by your GP.

There are many factors involved in acid reflux and the most important thing is to be aware of your triggers, minimise episodes and protect the oesophagus from damage. Over the next few days I will be sharing some simple tips and advice to help you manage it better.

Back from a truly wonderful weekend hosted by The Health Coaches Academy as I reach the last stages of my diploma to be a qualified Health Coach. Nutritional Therapy is an important part of the health puzzle but not the only part. Health Coaching allows us to go deep into root cause of dis-ease in the Mind and Body and unlocks the door to long lasting heath and wellness. I can’t wait to officially add health coaching into my clinical practice and help people feel better for good.

Loved spending the morning with Kirsty in Hitchin today.

Fun to watch the gorgeous bubbas but the joy was in helping the incredible Mums find ways to replenish, repair and refuel 💖
