Heartburn, indigestion, and GERD plague many people, and these conditions can have several causes. One of the most common causes is poor digestion. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to help support digestion like testing for food sensitivities, taking digestive enzymes with each meal, cutting out gluten, etc. In this week’s show, we’ll discuss how to end heartburn and GERD the natural way through the use of supplements and diet changes.

Products Mentioned in Today’s Show:

Digest Ease – Digest Ease is a cinnamon flavored chewable tablet containing DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice root and rhizome extract) and mastic gum to support healthy digestion and gastrointestinal function.† This product may help alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort associated with occasional indigestion.†

SBI Spore – Bacillus spores remain dormant in harsh environments until they reach more favorable environments like the human gastrointestinal tract. The combination of specific strains, particularly Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus clausii, and Bacillus subtilis, may help relieve symptoms for common GI complaints and reinforce healthy gut function.

Probio 100 – Probio 100 is a high-dose probiotic delivering 100 billion active cultures for cases of gastrointestinal and immune distress.
