About this Episode
Join us today as our host, Janell, delves into the understated world of stomach acid and its pivotal role in digestive health. Attempting to demystify stomach acid from merely being a corrosive fluid, she highlights its diverse functions from sterilizing food, activating enzymes, signalling digestion to protecting against leaky gut syndrome.
Janell also discusses the potential implications of low stomach acid or hypochlorhydria, which range from digestive discomfort, allowing harmful bacterial overgrowth to contributing to hormonal imbalances. This gives an enlightening perspective on how stomach acid impacts our overall vitality far beyond digestion. Ensuing the talk, she presents practical strategies to maintain and enhance stomach acid production, thereby forming an investment in one's holistic health.
