    [3] The SILENT STRUGGLE: Managing LPR (Silent Reflux) as a High-Performing Leader

    Do you STRUGGLE IN SILENCE with frequent bouts of acid reflux (GERD), Globus sensations in your throat, or sleepless nights due to persistent chest and throat pain? Are you a chronic “Throat Clearer?” Have you been trying, but to no avail, to identify the key contributors and solutions to these conditions? If you answered YES to one or all of the above questions, Episode 3 of Executive Wellness UNPLUGGED with Dr. Inna Husain, a Medical Director and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Specialist, is a must-listen! Leveraging our personal and professional insights and experiences with LPR (and GERD), we uncover the hidden factors behind and contributors to these conditions. Most importantly, we illuminate actionable and restorative solutions to help YOU reclaim your health, vitality, and productivity. This episode is a lifesaver! Check it out now! UPDATE/EDIT: It was mistakenly commented by the interviewer that BE may be a form of throat cancer vs. a “precancerous condition,” as further elaborated below. “Barrett's esophagus is the most common precancerous condition of the esophagus. In Barrett's esophagus, the normal cells lining the esophagus are replaced by cells that are like the lining of the stomach or intestine. This is called intestinal metaplasia. It is most often found in the gastroesophageal (GE) junction, which is where the esophagus joins the stomach.People with Barrett's esophagus have a higher risk of developing abnormal cells, called dysplasia. Dysplasia describes how abnormal cells look. With low-grade dysplasia, the abnormal cells look somewhat different from normal cells. In high-grade dysplasia, the cells look very abnormal. ”https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/cancer-types/esophageal/what-is-esophageal-cancer/precancerous-conditions#:~:text=Precancerous%20conditions%20of%20the%20esophagus,changes%20may%20become%20esophageal%20cancer.
