In this episode, Dr. Jockers explains why acid reflux is often a low stomach acid problem, not a "too much acid" problem, and how that mismatch leads people to chase symptoms instead of fixing the cause. You'll learn how stress, eating on the go, and poor vagal tone can reduce stomach acid, slow digestion, and create pressure that forces acid up into the esophagus. Dr. Jockers also walks through the most common hidden triggers, H. pylori, hiatal hernia, food sensitivities, histamine intolerance, and SIBO, plus simple ways to start narrowing down what's driving your reflux.
