difficulty swallowing

Jennifer was living a normal life until 2 months ago when she started having feelings of uncomfortable swallowing.

Over just a few weeks, her small symptoms developed into increasingly painful and difficult swallowing, near-constant acid reflux, and quick feelings of fullness that was leading to unhealthy weight loss.

After rounds of testing and medication by doctors, no one knows what is going on with Jennifer, and nothing has helped her feel better.

On today’s podcast episode, I am doing a free, on-air coaching call with Jennifer where our goal was to get to the bottom of her mysterious acid reflux. What caused it? And even more important - what can she do to reverse it?

• Do you dread taking pills - knowing that they are ALWAYS uncomfortable to swallow?

You’re eating dinner with your parents and notice that your dad seems to be having trouble swallowing. When you ask him about it, he says it hurts to swallow, and it feels like the food is getting stuck in his throat. You take him to the doctor the next day, and he says that your dad has dysphagia. What is this? How did it happen? Is it fixable?
