What Happens to Your Body After Years on Acid Reflux Pills
If you’re dealing with heartburn or acid reflux, make sure this one common heartburn treatment isn’t making matters worse. Learn about common acid reflux drugs and their side effects, plus the underlying acid reflux causes most people don’t know about. 👉 Download Dr. Berg’s Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07 Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements. 0:00 The problem with acid reflux treatment 0:12 Omeprazole 0:59 Stomach acid and acid reflux 1:32 PPI acid reflux medication 2:30 The importance of stomach acid 3:30 Antacid side effects 4:30 Acid reflux causes 4:58 Acid reflux remedies 5:45 PPI side effects 7:14 Other ways to support digestive health Can you use apple cider vinegar for acid reflux? Find out here: https://drbrg.co/4d2za5N In a clinical trial involving 120 healthy people, participants were given omeprazole. None had heartburn or acid reflux at the start of the trial, yet afterward, nearly half developed heartburn, indigestion, or acid reflux. Acid reflux isn’t always a problem of too much stomach acid. In fact, many people with GERD and acid reflux may actually have low stomach acid. Antacids aren’t meant to be taken long term; however, many people use them for extended periods. Side effects associated with long-term use can include nutritional deficiencies, anxiety, depression, and more. Overeating, a hiatal hernia, and high-sugar diets can also contribute to heartburn and acid reflux. Betaine hydrochloride can help acidify the stomach and may help reduce GERD symptoms. Zinc carnosine can also support digestive health if you’re dealing with an ulcer or stomach inflammation.

Why Your Magnesium Isn't Working (3 Nighttime Mistakes)
Avoid these 3 magnesium mistakes that could be keeping magnesium from working for you.

Magnesium glycinate dosage doesn’t always reflect the amount of elemental magnesium you’re actually getting from your supplement. It’s critical to understand how to read the label so you can make sure you’re getting the proper dose. The RDA for magnesium is 310–420 mg, and many clinical trials showing magnesium benefits use dosages around 400–500 mg. If it seems like magnesium isn’t working for you, make sure you’re taking enough. Magnesium absorption also plays a role. If you’re not absorbing magnesium properly, you won’t experience its full benefits. You need adequate stomach acid to absorb magnesium. Gut inflammation and even genetics can also affect magnesium absorption. If you’re doing everything right and still not experiencing any magnesium benefits, you may just need to give it more time!

As chronic disease continues to rise, what’s really causing it? Insulin resistance, often linked to a high-carb diet, may be a major underlying factor in high blood pressure. Research-backed natural blood pressure remedies include garlic, hibiscus tea, the DASH diet, and exercise. Reducing salt isn’t always the best solution. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is more important than focusing solely on sodium intake. Increasing potassium and magnesium while addressing insulin resistance can help support healthy blood pressure. Common high blood pressure causes include: • High sugar intake • Chronic stress • Sleep apnea • Inflammation • Low magnesium • Low sunlight exposure • Obesity Lisinopril is a common blood pressure treatment, but it comes with potential side effects.

A big factor is how quickly the brain gets the reward it’s seeking. Dopamine is a key driver of addiction, and it’s not a pleasure hormone like most people think. Dopamine plays a major role in wanting and seeking a reward, like opening the refrigerator and looking for something even though you’re already full. One of the most powerful addictions today is smartphone addiction. Checking your texts, emails, and social media feeds can consume hours of your life. The average person checks their phone around 130 to 160 times per day! Smartphone addiction can become especially dangerous when it leads to behaviors like texting while driving. One way to help break an addiction is to add friction and time between yourself and the behavior.

Why some people develop toenail fungus while others don’t can be influenced by several factors, including immune function. Fungal nail infections are more common in people with weakened immune systems, and factors like chronic stress and diabetes can also increase the risk. This may also help explain why toenail fungus can be so difficult to eliminate and why it often comes back. Common remedies for toenail fungus include: • Epsom salt • Tea tree oil • Castor oil • Garlic • Black seed oil Even fasting may help with recurring toenail fungus by supporting autophagy, the body’s natural cleanup process.
