INSIGHT

PPIs Mask Problems, They Rarely Heal

  • Acid-reducing drugs (PPIs/antacids) mask reflux but rarely fix the root cause.
  • Functional approaches reduced reflux 70–100% in Allison Jordan's clients.
INSIGHT

Alkaline Phosphatase Points To Zinc

  • Low alkaline phosphatase often signals zinc deficiency that impairs stomach acid production.
  • Allison Jordan finds this marker frequently low even when standard ranges appear normal.
ADVICE

Verify Nutrient Lows Before Supplementing

  • Check calcium, chloride, protein, iron, and B12 on your bloodwork when you suspect reflux.
  • Consider low stomach acid when these nutrients remain low despite supplements.
