Whether you've been dealing with acid reflux for years or just recently started experiencing heartburn, it's no secret that this condition can impact your quality of life. But could BPC-157, a peptide that has gained some attention in health circles, hold promise as a treatment? Today, we'll look at what the science and clinical studies have to say about BPC-157 and its potential role in managing acid reflux. What Is BPC-157? First, let's break down what BPC-157 actually is. BPC stands for Body Protection Compound, and the 157 refers to the specific amino acid sequence that makes up this peptide. It's a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in our stomach, specifically in gastric juice. This peptide has been shown to have a range of healing properties, particularly related to tissues like the gut, muscles, and tendons. The reason BPC-157 is getting attention in the realm of acid reflux and gastrointestinal issues is because of its potent regenerative abilities. Some studies suggest it could promote healing in the gastrointestinal tract, reduce inflammation, and improve the gut barrier—key factors for people dealing with acid reflux. Acid Reflux: What's Going On? Now, before we jump into BPC-157's potential benefits, let's quickly revisit what acid reflux is and how it differs from heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. 1. Acid Reflux: Definition: Acid reflux is the condition where stomach acid or bile irritates the lining of the esophagus. This can happen when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a valve between the stomach and esophagus, relaxes or weakens, allowing stomach contents to flow back up. Symptoms: The main symptom is the regurgitation of acid into the esophagus, leading to a sour or bitter taste in the mouth. Other symptoms may include chest discomfort, a feeling of food sticking in the throat, and bloating. Frequency: Occasional acid reflux is common and may not be a cause for concern. Almost everyone experiences acid reflux at some point. 2. Heartburn: Definition: Heartburn is a symptom of acid reflux, not a separate condition. It is characterized by a burning sensation in the chest, usually behind the breastbone, caused by stomach acid irritating the esophagus. Symptoms: A painful burning sensation in the chest or throat, often after eating or when lying down. Frequency: Heartburn can occur occasionally, especially after eating certain foods or drinking beverages like coffee, alcohol, or spicy foods. 3. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): Definition: GERD is a more serious and chronic form of acid reflux. It is diagnosed when acid reflux occurs more than twice a week or causes significant symptoms or damage to the esophagus. Symptoms: In addition to heartburn, GERD symptoms may include chronic cough, difficulty swallowing, regurgitation of food or acid, hoarseness, sore throat, and a sensation of a lump in the throat. Over time, GERD can lead to complications like esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus), Barrett's esophagus, or even esophageal cancer. Frequency: GERD is a long-term condition that requires medical management, and its symptoms often interfere with daily life. Over time, untreated acid reflux can lead to more serious condition finding effective treatments is crucial. Now, let's talk about how BPC-157 might be able to help. What Do the Clinical Studies Show? While BPC-157 has shown promise in various areas, including wound healing, tendon repair, and reducing inflammation, its application in acid reflux or GERD is still largely based on preliminary animal studies and some early-stage research. For instance, one study in rats published in World Journal of Gastroenterology found that BPC-157 promotes healing of stomach ulcers and improves gastric function. The study suggested that BPC-157 could accelerate the healing of the stomach's mucosal lining, potentially offering protection against stomach acid and promoting tissue regeneration. This is particularly relevant for acid reflux sufferers, as damage to the esophagus and stomach lining from acid exposure is a key component of the disease. Other studies have shown BPC-157's potential in reducing inflammation in the gut, a common feature in many gastrointestinal diseases, including acid reflux. In one experiment, BPC-157 was demonstrated to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair in animal models with gastric ulcers, which could suggest that it might help in conditions like acid reflux where similar damage to the gut lining occurs. However, while these findings are promising, it's important to note that human trials are limited. Most of the research on BPC-157's effects on gastrointestinal issues has been conducted in animals, and we don't yet have definitive evidence in humans. How does BPC-157 work? So, how might BPC-157 work in the context of acid reflux? There are a few proposed mechanisms based on the available research: Tissue Healing: BPC-157 may help promote the healing of the esophageal and stomach lining, which can be damaged by frequent acid exposure. By accelerating the repair process, BPC-157 could reduce symptoms and long-term damage from reflux. Anti-inflammatory Effects: BPC-157 has been shown to reduce inflammation in several studies. Since inflammation is a core part of GERD, particularly in the esophagus, BPC-157 could help manage this aspect of the disease. Improved Gut Barrier Function: Evidence suggests that BPC-157 may enhance the integrity of the gastrointestinal barrier. This could help protect the stomach and esophagus from the damaging effects of acid, offering a protective effect. Future Outlook As of now, BPC-157 is mostly considered experimental. However, the growing body of research into its effects on the gastrointestinal tract and its healing properties holds a lot of promise. If future human clinical trials confirm its safety and efficacy for acid reflux, it could become a valuable addition to the toolkit for managing this condition. For now, though, it's essential to keep track of new research and be cautious about diving into treatments that aren't fully vetted by the medical community.

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne explores the concept of FOMO — Fear of Missing Out — and how it uniquely affects cancer patients. Drawing from personal experiences and referencing a 2021 study from the World Journal of Clinical Cases by Gupta and Sharma, Saranne explains how FOMO can lead to anxiety, disrupted sleep, and emotional issues, especially when compounded by the rigorous demands of cancer treatment. She emphasizes the importance of self-preservation and introduces the concept of JOMO — Joy of Missing Out — as a healthier mindset. By creating an inner life filled with joy, one doesn't need to keep up with social expectations and can instead focus on what truly brings peace and happiness. "Forget others, me only." – Saranne Today on Beating Cancer Daily: ·     FOMO stands for Fear of Missing Out, and social media often exacerbates it.·     A 2021 study identified multiple negative impacts of FOMO, including anxiety and reduced physical well-being.·     For cancer patients, FOMO can add unnecessary stress during treatment, making it crucial to manage social engagements wisely.·     JOMO — Joy of Missing Out — is about finding contentment in one's inner life rather than external activities.·     Self-preservation is key during cancer treatment; knowing when to rest and recharge is vital.·     Practical strategies for combating FOMO include journaling, meditation, and turning off social media.·     Scheduling social connections via digital means can help maintain relationships without the physical strain of going out.·     Tools like ComedyCures LaughLine offer daily humor, aiding in emotional well-being. Resources Mentioned:ComedyCures Foundationhttps://www.comedycures.org The #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot and Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcast by CancerCare News, Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in more than 91 countries on six continents and has over 300 original daily episodes hosted by stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg!   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_SuggestionsTo sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!

Today, we're going to talk about the benefits of clove for health. Cloves have potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-candida, and antiviral properties with virtually no side effects! Cloves can help numb tooth pain and eliminate microbes. They have been patented for use in mouthwash, toothpaste, and gingivitis treatment. Cloves can also increase bile flow and digestive enzymes. A study published in the World Journal of Dentistry found that clove oil worked faster, lasted longer, and was more effective for toothaches than benzocaine. Another study compared eugenol to hydrocortisone and found the effectiveness was equal to or greater in reducing skin swelling and redness. You can use cloves to make a salve or a liquid to drink before bed. It can be used for tooth pain, biofilms, muscle pain, joint pain, and more! Clove oil can be mixed with olive or coconut oil and massaged directly into the joints. You can also use clove oil to make a lip balm as a natural remedy for the herpes simplex virus. It can even be used as a mosquito repellent. Drinking clove water before bed can help you relax, detoxify the liver, and improve digestion. It can also be used for respiratory problems like bronchitis, mucus in the lungs, colds, coughs, and asthma. Clove water helps support cognitive function, a healthy heart, and healthy immune function. It's a natural sedative, so it can be used as a sleep aid without the side effects of sleep medication. To make clove water, boil 4 to 5 cloves in one cup of water, lower the heat, and allow it to simmer for five minutes. Cover the water while it's simmering to prevent the vapors from escaping. Allow the clove water to cool for one hour and consume it 30 minutes before bed.

PART 2 of our coverage of young-onset colorectal cancer! This week our guest is an Oncology expert, here to give us in-depth information about colorectal cancer, with actionable items on how we can protect ourselves. Colorectal cancer in younger folks (under 50 years old) is unfortunately on the rise. According to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, in the US, about 10% of colorectal cancer cases are diagnosed in people under 50.  Did you know that in 2021, the USPSTF (the federal task force that creates and implements screening guidelines in the US) changed their colorectal cancer screening guidelines? Instead of average-risk folks getting their first screening colonoscopy at 50 (the previous standard), the recommendation is now to start at 45! Your Doctor Friends are happy to present a physician expert in colorectal cancer to provide even more helpful information about why this disease may be targeting younger people, and what we can do as individuals to protect ourselves and those we care about :) Welcome, Meena Sadaps, MD! Dr. Sadaps is a board certified oncologist and assistant professor with Your Doctor Friends at Rush, and practices at the RUSH MD Anderson Cancer Center. She attended Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University before completing residency and fellowship at Cleveland Clinic. HEADS UP! The Colorectal Cancer Alliance Blue Hope Bash annual fundraising event in Chicago is Friday, May 3rd, 2024, at Galleria Marchetti (where Jeremy got married!) and Your Doctor Friends plan to attend! If you can't attend the Blue Hope Bash, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance! Resources for this episode include: A 2021 review article from the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology regarding young-onset colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer in younger folks (under 50 years old) is unfortunately on the rise. According to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, in the US, about 10% of colorectal cancer cases are diagnosed in people under 50.  Those numbers are rising about 1-2% percent each year, and researchers are still finding out why.  Young adults are the only population group experiencing an increase in colorectal cancer Colorectal cancer is currently the deadliest cancer among young men and the second deadliest among young women. In August 2020, the world lost amazing actor, Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman, to colorectal cancer at the age of 43. Did you know that in 2021, the USPSTF (the federal task force that creates and implements screening guidelines in the US) changed their colorectal cancer screening guidelines? Instead of average-risk folks getting their first screening colonoscopy at 50 (the previous standard), the recommendation is now to start at 45! Sharing personal experiences, and highlighting the stories of people touched by colorectal cancer is POWERFUL, and the ripple effects flow far. Your Doctor Friends are SO HONORED to highlight two wonderful individuals on this episode- Ashley Bowman, MHA and Dawn Schneider, PhD, MBA. Ashley and Dawn have quite a bit in common- they are both advocate volunteers at the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, members of the Never Too Young Taskforce Advisory Board, and unfortunately both lost sisters to young-onset colorectal cancer. Ashley and Dawn share their amazing, heartbreaking, and inspiring personal stories in this episode. We are so grateful! We will follow up next week with a physician expert in colorectal cancer to provide even more helpful information about why this disease may be targeting younger people, and what we can do as individuals to protect ourselves and those we care about :) HEADS UP!

Bread might seem like the boring food, the backdrop for the stuff you put in the sandwich. But actually, in a world of strange foods, bread may be the strangest, most unlikely substance that humans have ever ingested. The story of what bread is and how we came to eat it, is one of alien biology and lost civilizations. It turns out that we only have bread because of a long chain of bizarre and unlikely coincidences. ReferencesArranz-Otaegui, A., Gonzalez Carretero, L., Ramsey, M. N., Fuller, D. Q., & Richter, T.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, FRIENDS! This week Your Doctor Friends are doling out TWO episodes of spoooooky stories and hair-raising health headlines! Each episode contains a "sharing size" story with a little "fun-sized" article at the end! Today we start with the (maybe not-so-scientific) connection between the full moon and erratic behavior (if there really is one...). We dive into the origins of this widely-held belief that the full moon triggers weird demeanor, and what the studies suggest may be closer to the truth. At the end Jeremy explains the health benefits of eating actual pumpkin! Stay tuned for another eerie episode this Thursday, November 2nd (the end of the Dia de los Muertos!) for another bag of treats! Happy Healthy Haunting, y'all! Resources for this episode include: A Canadian Medical Association Journal article titled "Bad Moon Rising: the persistent belief in lunar connections to madness." A 1985 Psychological Bulletin journal article by Rotton and Kelly titled "Much ado about the full moon: a meta-analysis of lunar-lunacy research." A study published in the World Journal of Surgery investigating full moons, zodiac signs, and Fridays the 13th and their relationships (or lack thereof) to emergency operations and intraoperative blood loss. A Scientific American article titled "Lunacy and the Full Moon. Does a full moon really trigger strange behavior?" A New York Times article on the health benefits of eating pumpkin!

O Senado Federal começou a discutir a regulamentação ou não dos cigarros eletrônicos, mais conhecidos como vapes. Para quem defende a legalização dos vapes, a regulamentação feita pelo poder público pode evitar que produtos sem inspeção sejam vendidos. Sem normas claras, os usuários estão expostos a produtos sem garantia de qualidade e monitoramento, prejudicando diretamente sua saúde. Além disso, o governo enfrenta uma perda considerável de mais de 2 bilhões de reais em impostos, fruto da falta de regulamentação. No entanto, entidades médicas e profissionais da saúde discordam da liberação desses produtos. Uma pesquisa publicada na revista World Journal of Oncology mostrou também que fumantes de cigarros eletrônicos são diagnosticados com câncer quase 20 anos mais cedo que usuários de tabaco tradicional. De acordo com o relatório de estudo de monitoramento dos fatores de risco para doenças crônicas no Brasil, a maior prevalência de experimentação do cigarro eletrônico ocorre entre os jovens de 18 a 24 anos. A venda, importação e publicidade dos cigarros eletrônicos são proibidas no Brasil desde 2009 pela Anvisa, que sempre avalia o tema.  Afinal, o Brasil deve regulamentar a venda do vapes? A liberação pode piorar o problemas de saúde da população, e um aumento de custo para o SUS? No ‘Estadão Notícias' de hoje, vamos conversar sobre o assunto com o psiquiatra Jorge Alberto Costa e Silva, presidente do INBRACER (Instituto Brasileiro do Cérebro) e ex-diretor do grupo Tabaco e Saúde da Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS).

"Hi everyone, my name is J. Micahel DeAngelis. I'm one of the co-creators, co-writers, co-producers and the primary director on Mission: Rejected. Mission: Rejected is a scripted audio comedy about what happens when the world's great spy discovers that he can choose NOT to accept his missions, leaving no choice but to send in the ""B-team"": a nervous pencil pusher, a reformed convict, a faded sitcom star, and a White House intern, all trying to do their best the world of espionage...and not always succeeding. The episode you're about to hear is Season Four, Episode Three: ""Ghost Pepper Protocol"" and it's the story of the team having to infiltrate the mob by posing as a catering company. Now, there are a few things you'll need to know, as after four seasons we have accumulated a little bit of a backstory. In the teaser, you'll be introduced to Special Agent Chet Phillips, who's sort of our ""A-team"" super spy, but he's recently taken himself out of the field because he believes he's been possessed by his nemesis, The Admiral, the leader of a cult called Oceanologists. Also in this episode, you'll be hearing from Athena O'Brien, who for the past three season's has been the team's greatest nemesis. Having been caught at the end of season three, the team is now trying to reform her and she is forced to join them in the field. Other than that, I hope you'll enjoy this mission. It's a delicious culinary treat written and directed by me, sounded edited by John Dowgin, with additional sound design and music by Pete Barry. Finally, a shout out to our very special guest star, David S. Dear, creator and star of ""A 9th World Journal"", another show I hope you'll tune your ears to. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy ""Ghost Pepper Protocol.""" cw: cartoon violence Transcript can be found at: https://www.missionrejected.com/403-transcript https://www.missionrejected.com Socials: https://www.instagram.com/missionrejected

On this episode of the Hot Spot series, Gabriel Ornelas sits down with Yiming Lin. He's the creator and food ethnographer behind Literally.Starving—the highly popular social media platform and human interest food account he started in the summer of 2022 as a means of understanding his personal relationships with food and creating community as a new resident to New York.    It's no surprise that in less than a year, Literally.Starving has garnered over 3 million subscribers from around the world and has been featured on BuzzFeed, First We Feast, World Journal, Fox News, and numerous other publications. We're excited to have him at On The Pass where we dig deeper into his creator journey.   This journey began long before the genesis of Literally.Starving and stretches back to when his Chinese immigrant parents sought a better opportunity and escaped China's one child policy regulations. Yiming's parents settled in Tampa, Florida and opened a local Chinese-American takeout restaurant, which is where he truly found his love and deep curiosity for cooking and how food brings people together.   In this episode, we discuss the impact of his upbringing in his family's restaurant, the origins of Literally.Starving, the evolution of both his content creator journey and this platform, and the responsibility and ethics around creating media and having a growing, global platform. It's a story about entrepreneurship, community building, and following one's passions.    Hungry for more?

How can we begin to understand this remarkable phenomenon? A group of people meditating together can lower crime? Dr. Tony Nader and scientists David Orme-Johnson and Ken Cavanaugh discuss the findings that every individual in the population contributes to national consciousness and, reciprocally, national consciousness influences everyone. The research is focused on the advanced techniques of Transcendental Meditation and shows how large groups of people practicing this technique have a large positive effect on society, with significant decreases in the national homicide rate, motor vehicle fatality rate, drug-related death rate, violent crime rate, infant mortality rate, and fatality rate for other accidents. Listen in as they discuss the results and what this could mean for lowering the overall stress of our society and our world. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/q-cvU3DHf-A Links: Orme-Johnson, D.

How can we begin to understand this remarkable phenomenon? A group of people meditating together can lower crime? Dr. Tony Nader and scientists David Orme-Johnson and Ken Cavanaugh discuss the findings that every individual in the population contributes to national consciousness and, reciprocally, national consciousness influences everyone. The research is focused on the advanced techniques of Transcendental Meditation and shows how large groups of people practicing this technique have a large positive effect on society, with significant decreases in the national homicide rate, motor vehicle fatality rate, drug-related death rate, violent crime rate, infant mortality rate, and fatality rate for other accidents. Listen in as they discuss the results and what this could mean for lowering the overall stress of our society and our world. Stay tuned for Part 3!

In this episode we discuss Peyronies disease, a condition faced by about 10% of men.  Peyronies disease can cause pain, erectile dysfunction and, for some men, a complete inability to have sex.  But what exactly is Peyronies disease and what causes the condition?  How do you know if you have it? Does Peyronies disease always require treatment?  What are the treatment options and how well do they work? To answer these questions and many more, we turned to a true expert.  Dr. Darshan Patel is an assistant professor of Urology at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. He completed his medical training at the Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and then completed a residency in urologic surgery, a clinical research fellowship in Reconstructive Urology, and a fellowship in Men's Health, Andrology, and Microsurgery at the University of Utah. Dr. Patel has authored over 100 publications and textbook chapters. His research has appeared in journals such as Fertility and Sterility, Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics, Urology, Journal of Urology, World Journal of Urology, and the British Journal of Urology.#peyronies #peyroniesdisease #erectiledysfunction #sex

A lot of people think that symptoms of gluten sensitivity are felt in the gut, but that's not where most symptoms appear. For a long time now, researchers have known that most cases of gluten sensitivity show themselves in the brain. Some researchers even call gluten sensitivity a neurological disease. Gluten is the most potent trigger for neurological dysfunction and neurological autoimmunity, as noted by a paper published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology. But bread has been with us for thousands of years. Why is it a problem now? From the research that's out there, it's not so much that gluten itself is the problem. In part, it has to do with how our brain is connected to the gut. And the other part has to do with a well-known pesticide ingredient called glyphosate. In this episode of Frontline Health, we take a look at the brain symptoms often caused by gluten and the ways glyphosate makes our bread toxic.   ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

If you're on tiktok you might have come across this trend of women struggling and openly speaking about their digestive issues under the hashtag “hot girls have IBS”. While this might seem innocuous and even a great way for individuals to speak openly about their pain, discomfort and the stigma associated with uncomfortable symptoms like bloating, constipation and diarrhoea, there's also an insidious side that I want to discuss today which is the fact that eating disorders and disordered eating often go hand in hand with digestive concerns. Namely, is this trend harmful in normalising disordered eating behaviours, such as cutting out or demonising food groups? Additionally, if someone is struggling with digestive issues, how do they navigate those symptoms and get the help they need without falling down a diet culture rabbit hole. In this episode I'm going to discuss: How common digestive disorders are in those struggling with eating disorders Why digestive concerns occur in those with eating disorders, disordered eating and/or HA The bi-directional relationship between IBS symptoms/digestive disorders and disordered eating The pros and cons “hot girls have IBS” trend in terms of management strategies Why cutting out food groups may not be the answer What to do if you're experiencing IBS or digestive disorders in recovery My own personal experience of how digestive concerns fuelled my eating disorder and what my symptom journey looked like during recovery ❤️ Join my newsletter list for weekly motivation and inspiration and you'll also receive a FREE copy of my eBook "31 Ways to Boost Your Body Image" ❤️ Ready to get your period back? Join the next round of Healing Hypothalamic Amenorrhea!

Despite being born into an Ayurvedic culture, Dr Anup Mulakaluri, ND, didn't seek out Ayurvedic training until his mom gained medical benefit this ancient science. As soon as he started his training, he knew he was at home and brings the cozy comfort of Ayurveda to each patient he sees and the teaching he does, like in our show today. He starts out describing Ayurveda as 'a system of healing, a way of life, a spiritual practice and as a functional medicine'. He then dives into how we can understand ourselves through our doshic makeup, meaning the three components of our constitution termed vata, pitta, and kapha. With his clear definitions and descriptions of how to stay balanced, lovingly shares what to do when it's hard to wake up in the morning, for example. We then shift to the Ayurvedic perspective of neurology. He describes the nervous system is the action arm of consciousness, where choices are made. He discusses the innate connection between the nervous system and the gut as they can be connected through vata dosha and 'vatagati', meaning 'vata goes there'. Dr Mulakaluri unfolds the beauty of Ayurveda to meet the patient exactly with what they need. Typically with neurological disease, primary treatments are to apply soothing oil topically with massage but also internally with ghee, oils, and fatty animal tissue like cold-water fish in the diet. He explains how the lipophilic nature of oil allows it to penetrate through membranes to address neurological tissues. From here, Dr Mulakaluri reviews a few cases with treatments given for a patient with Parkinson's Disease, a patient with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). In brief, he also reviews the incredible and unique process that is Ayurvedic panchakarma for detoxification, cleansing, restoration and rejuvenation. Panchakarma is the tool for hitting the reset button. He bravely answers our question about 'why does Ayurveda work for neurological conditions'. This was such a relaxing show to record and we are thrilled to offer you this look into Ayurveda today.

Do you struggle with acid reflux? Between 20-30% of Americans have acid reflux symptoms every week. That's almost one third of Americans every week! According to the World Journal of Gastroenterology in a study of more than 6,000 patients, 63% of people with IBS ALSO have acid reflux / or GERD. On top of that, IBS affects women in a 2:1 ratio compared to men. So the overwhelming majority of people with IBS are women, and the majority of these women with IBS also have GERD. Safe to say - I have a lot of clients with acid reflux and ALL the symptoms that come with it. It's a common problem, with a common solution - that doesn't work. Acid reducing medications - PPI's, or antacids - never SOLVE the problem of acid reflux. They merely mask it, or make it manageable. Sort of. However, with every client I've worked with, we've been able to reduce their acid reflux 70-100% by following our unique pathway and assessment process we have for acid reflux. One of the first steps in this process is something you can do RIGHT NOW with basic blood work you have at home, and it's something I teach IN DEPTH in my course Blood Lab Bootcamp, which is reopening for registration on January 5. Blood Lab Bootcamp is all about you learning how to analyze your most common blood lab work ordered by your doctor using functional medicine analysis methods so you can find the ROOT cause of your health problems and stop spinning your wheels between supplements and doctor appointments. In today's episode, I'm going to do a quick fly-by on 10 markers that I consistently use to find the root cause of acid reflux. Are you guys ready? Let's jump in. Other episodes mentioned in this episode:24// Got Acid Reflux?

I think even just that one thing will change a lot of people's lives.""If you say yes to every opportunity, you have no strategy.""I think it's important for people to be able to respect and like themselves. I think that's worth a lot of luxury in life.""Even if everything was successful. If I did things against my moral principles. Like, I'd be super rich and successful. I'd be in a big house, a nice TV, a nice house and all that nice stuff will be surrounding a piece of shit. And that piece of shit is me. And I think that's not worth it. Like I need to respect myself. I need to like myself for me to enjoy my life.""When you move from country to country, you realize: Hey, what's like socially polite and expected in one country (and) is offensive another. And you realize, (oh) these are all variables. These are all up to change human systems. And that's when you can think the most stuff fluidly. So my work has inspired a lot of people to try to change their life into games and change their minds.""I think there are so many facets that life can improve if you see it as a game. Like just one simple thing is just attitude and mentality, right? Some people think, "why do you have so many obstacles in my life?" "so much bad luck," and they kind of give up. But if you look at a game, a game is really boring if there are no obstacles or resistance or bad guys that are going against you.""In a game, every obstacle is actually an opportunity to score more points and people tackle them with a strong attitude. And I think in life, a lot of the same people when they face any obstacles, any setbacks, they're just like, oh my life sucks. I'm not going to try anymore. Like even with the game of golf, right? If golf was just about getting to the goal, then it's kind of boring. Just pick up the ball, walk up to the hole, and put it in. But no one would want to play that. So we need to add a lot of difficulty and obstacles or we need to stand up far away, headed with a weird stick. There needs to be little sand puddles and ponds to make it more frustrating. And now it's a fun game." Links Mentioned:Kurt's Twitter Kurt's InstagramKurt's LinkedInKurt's newsletter Rate the podcastYu-kai's LinkedInYu-kai's TwitterYu-kai's Website Octalysis group website
