Ep 34: 7 Mistakes Keeping Your GERD or LPR Stuck (From a Reflux Dietitian)
The Reflux Revolution Podcast by Molly PelletierShow Notes
Think you're doing everything "right" but your acid reflux, GERD, or LPR still won't improve? In this episode, I'm sharing the 7 biggest mistakes I see holding people back from true reflux healing - from focusing only on food to overlooking the nervous system, reintroducing foods too quickly, and expecting healing to happen overnight. These aren't mistakes you're making out of laziness - they're gaps in the information you've been given and every single one of them is fixable! 🙂
