Acid reflux disease is a complex disorder. PPI therapy, considered the gold standard GERD treatment, addresses symptom control only. They do not address the underlying causes of acid reflux.

Want some tips to control your blood sugar naturally?

In a recent episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, I was joined by Jessie Inchauspé, The Glucose Goddess, to discuss what you can do to reduce the glucose rollercoaster.

The order in which you eat certain foods is one incredibly simple, yet powerful, action you can take towards balanced blood sugar. Jessie recommends starting your meals with fiber, followed by proteins and fats, and then eating healthy types of carbohydrates.

We also get into what optimal fasting and post-meal glucose levels should look like, and much more.

Sometimes it’s not what we are eating, but how we (over)cook our foods that is problematic for health. There is a significant body of literature to suggest that advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), which form with high-heat cooking methods like frying, grilling, and broiling, are inflammatory.

Some of the literature suggests that these compounds in cooked foods may be connected with disrupting the gut microbiome and contribute to immune-inflammatory dysregulation, such as in food allergy.

The good news is that we can make small steps in the direction of changing how we cook foods --- less dry hot heat and more slow, moist methods, together with adding spices before the cooking process to offset glycation.
