    The Truth About GERD, Acid Reflux & Proton Pump Inhibitors, Ravi Kumar, MD

    Since February 2026, I have been researching acid reflux, GERD, Barrett’s esophagus, and hiatal hernias, going down more rabbit holes than I can count. I was hesitant to explore certain avenues because they seemed to lead right back to the PPI rabbit hole (proton pump inhibitors). I wanted to understand the cause rather than simply suppress the symptoms. After more testing, I had a clearer picture. Yet my gastroenterologist still recommended PPIs. Then I stumbled upon Ravi Kumar, MD, and his video The Great GERD Mistake: How Medicine Made Heartburn Worse and How to Fix It. It was the best explanation of GERD I had heard. Hearing it from an MD was empowering. I even shared it with my gastroenterologist. Dr. Kumar, a board-certified neurosurgeon, assistant professor at UNC, and host of The Dr. Kumar Discovery, spent eight years taking PPIs himself before questioning whether acid suppression was addressing the real problem. Dr. Kumar will share what he learned, how he got off PPIs, and what people should understand about reflux before accepting long-term acid suppression as the answer.

    Update on My Healing Journey

    Healing is rarely a straight line. Sometimes we experience a breakthrough only to discover another question waiting for an answer. Sometimes the greatest progress comes from slowing down, listening to our bodies, and being willing to question what we thought we already understood. Over the past 6 months, I have continued researching, asking questions, exploring different perspectives, and learning more about my own health journey. I’ve also learned that becoming our own MD, “Medical Detective,” isn’t always easy. It can be discouraging when you bring your research and questions to a doctor and feel dismissed rather than heard. But that will not stop me from being curious simply because someone doesn’t agree with my research. I’m back from my break and ready to share where I am today, what I’ve learned, what has surprised me, and what I believe we can all learn from navigating our own healing journeys.

    Thomas Levy, MD, JD, The Hidden Truth About Enriched & Fortified Foods

    For generations, Americans have been taught that foods labeled “enriched” and “fortified” are healthier options because vitamins and minerals have been added to the food. Yet few people stop to ask what those added nutrients are, how they are manufactured, or how they interact with the body. Thomas Levy, MD, JD, has spent decades researching nutrition, oxidative stress, cardiovascular health, and the impact of synthetic compounds on human physiology. In fact, many years ago Dr. Levy created a video about Iron in Cereals. Recently, Dr. Levy met with the 26th United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to discuss concerns about enriched and fortified foods and the need for greater awareness surrounding what is being added to the modern food supply. Dr. Levy will share the science behind enrichment and fortification, the potential unintended consequences of synthetic additives, and why returning to nutrient-dense whole foods may be one of the most important steps we can take toward protecting our health.

    Loving Yourself Like God Loves You

    Many of us spend years believing we are not enough. We focus on our mistakes, replay our failures, and hold ourselves to standards we would never impose on those we love or even on strangers. Yet God does not define us by our worst moments, our shortcomings, or the labels we have accepted along the way. His love is patient, compassionate, forgiving, and unconditional. When we begin to see ourselves through God’s eyes, we can release self-judgment and embrace the truth of who we were created to be. I will share how learning to love ourselves like God loves us can transform our relationship with ourselves, deepen our faith, and bring greater peace, purpose, and joy into our lives.

    Bradley Nelson, DC, Unblocking Our Hearts with The Heart Code

    Many of us move through life carrying emotional wounds we may not even realize are still affecting us. Over time, heartbreak, grief, fear, and unresolved experiences can shape the way we connect with ourselves and others. This often creates invisible barriers around the heart. Bradley Nelson, DC, creator of The Emotion Code, The Body Code, and The Heart Code, has spent years exploring how trapped emotional energy may contribute to emotional and physical imbalance. By learning to identify and release these energetic blocks, we can experience greater peace, connection, and emotional freedom. Dr. Nelson will share how understanding the heart’s emotional burden may help us move toward healing in ways we never imagined possible.

    Making Peace with Your Brain, John Silva, DC

    So many of us spend years frustrated with our minds. We criticize ourselves for being distracted, anxious, overwhelmed, forgetful, or emotionally reactive. Over time, it may cost us relationships and/or career opportunities. We may begin to see the brain as the problem instead of recognizing that it is constantly adapting and responding to the stress, experiences, and patterns we live with every day. John Silva, DC’s goal is to encourage us to see the brain through a more compassionate and holistic lens. This may help us shift from self-judgment to self-awareness. Dr. Silva will share how we can begin making peace with our brain and create greater clarity, balance, and emotional well-being. Let’s learn how the brain functions and what it needs to thrive.

    Back to Basics with Thomas Levy, MD, JD, Vitamin C, Heart Health & Healing

    In a world filled with complex treatments and endless health trends, it can be easy to forget that some of the most powerful healing tools are often simple and within our reach. Thomas Levy, MD, JD, has spent decades researching the role of vitamin C, oxidative stress, and nutrient-based approaches to restoring health and protecting the heart. By understanding how the body responds to inflammation, toxins, and deficiency, we begin to see that healing may be more dependent on foundational support than many realize. Dr. Levy will share how vitamin C, heart health strategies, and time-tested principles can help us return to the basics of true wellness.

    The Practice of Unconditional Trust

    Many of us say we trust God. Yet when life becomes uncertain, we often find ourselves bargaining and grasping for control, telling God what to do and how to do it. We want reassurance and guarantees that everything will work out exactly as we hope. And when things do not go our way, we may pout, grow angry with God, or even feel abandoned. I talk often about unconditional love, but what about unconditional trust? The practice of unconditional trust invites us to remain open, grounded, and faithful, even when we cannot see the full picture. I have learned that trust is not about pretending life will always be easy. It is about believing that even our challenges can lead us toward growth, wisdom, deeper peace, and ultimately, to God’s perfect plan. I will share how practicing unconditional trust can help us move beyond fear and into a life guided by faith, surrender, and the inner calm that comes from knowing everything will ultimately be alright.
