    Acid Reflux Isn’t Too Much Acid: Heartburn Root Causes Most People Miss | Dr. Daryl Gioffre

    Acid reflux isn’t always caused by “too much acid” - in many cases, it’s driven by low stomach acid, poor digestion, and gut dysbiosis. In this episode, Dr. Will Cole sits down with Dr. Daryl Gioffre to break down the real root causes behind reflux, bloating, sinus issues, and throat symptoms that often get mislabeled. They also discuss why common reflux medications aren’t intended for long-term use, and what the research suggests about chronic suppression of stomach acid. Plus, Dr. Gioffre shares his personal story of hidden mold exposure and the gut-brain impact that followed.
