Burning Questions: Acid, Reflux & the Upper GI

In this episode, we explore the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract—the critical passageway that begins at the mouth and extends to the first part of the small intestine. Join us as we break down the anatomy, function, and common disorders of the esophagus, pharynx, and stomach. From swallowing mechanics to acid reflux, we’ll uncover how this complex system supports digestion and what happens when things go wrong.
