298// Low Stomach Acid Explained: A Real Root Cause of Acid Reflux, Candida, Constipation, and SIBO

Are you struggling with acid reflux, bloating, constipation, SIBO, or candida overgrowth?

Do you feel like you've tried everything to heal — supplements, protocols, elimination diets, practitioners — and they either didn't help, or the second you stopped doing it, all your symptoms came back?

If that’s you, there’s a very real chance you’re dealing with something you may have never heard of before: low stomach acid.

Yes, LOW stomach acid.

Today’s episode is kicking off a series I'm running this January - February called the Real Root Causes series. And I’m starting with low stomach acid on purpose.

Because while low stomach acid is something I reference constantly when working with chronic gut issues… here’s the plot twist:

-- it’s still not a REAL root cause.

Low stomach acid doesn’t just happen. And if you don’t understand why it’s happening, you’ll stay stuck in the cycle of temporary fixes and recurring symptoms.

So today, I'm going to break down the REAL root causes to low stomach acid. I'll be covering topics like:

1. Why low stomach acid happens
2. My favorite at-home low stomach acid test
3. Signs of low stomach acid
4. Why apple cider vinegar for low stomach acid is not safe until you test this ONE thing
5. The REAL root causes of low stomach acid
6. How to test for the root causes of low stomach acid
7. And the exact low stomach acid remedies and protocols you'll need to permanently reverse it - so you can finally get rid of your acid reflux, constipation, SIBO, and candida infection, too

If all you’ve ever been told to do to help your stomach acid or digestion is drink lemon water, apple cider vinegar, or take HCl supplements, then this episode is for you.
