Episode Description
Heartburn, bloating, cramping, gassiness, indigestion, and elimination problems. Sound like a job for a thick pink liquid? That may temporarily help with the symptoms but it isn’t getting at the underlying digestive problems that can easily become chronic and are often mis- or self-diagnosed. When the digestive system isn’t working properly, we suffer in so many ways, not just with physical discomfort. It affects the way we physically and chemically break down food, absorb nutrients and eliminate waste, which ultimately affects the way we feel overall. It can also lead to much bigger problems. The goal is to digest food quickly and efficiently, but how and where do we start? Join me and my guest, Dr. Joe Klassen, ND, on a journey through the digestive system where we will look at some common digestive ailments, identify the enemies of digestion, and learn how you can start to help yourself.
