let’s talk about the two underlying reasons for gerd

okay first one is a vitamin d deficiency if you haven’t seen my other video on

how vitamin d influences muscles i put a link down below

but it does typically people have this idea that

vitamin d controls calcium and affects the immune system

but it does a lot more including controlling muscle

function to a very large degree and when we deal with the stomach

we’re dealing with smooth muscles both in

the sphincters the top one and the bottom one

as well as the muscle itself which is smooth muscle

vitamin d increases calcium absorption so it’s all about contractibility so if

you’re lacking vitamin d you can get incomplete closure

of this valve right here so gerd stands for

gastroenter reflux disorder so the acid in the stomach

is coming going right up to this valve into the esophagus

and it can damage the cells of esophagus create inflammation and even increase

the risk of cancer vitamin d deficiency is one cause

and you have vitamin d receptors in the esophagus in the stomach

in these valves so you have a lot of locations where vitamin d is involved

the second underlying reason why someone might have gerd

is they have lower amounts of hydrochloric acid

in the stomach itself which is very common as we age

we decrease the production of hcl if you’re on an antacid that can also

decrease the stomach acid and as soon as you come off that medication

now you really can’t digest because it just depleted

most of your stomach acid but what happens when you don’t have enough

hydrochloric acid in the stomach is you get incomplete closure of this

valve there’s a little sensor a ph sensor in

this valve which makes a lot of sense because when

you eat food you want to have food go through here

and have it being digested and have this completely closed

off right you don’t want acid backing up so if there’s just not enough acid to

trigger this the sensor in this valve then what

happens the acid splashes up now the other thing that’s happening is

if you don’t have enough hydrochloric acid

you’re going to get incomplete digestion especially a protein

and the biggest symptom is gas so we start building up

gas bubbles right here and it’s going to pop this open right here

just from the gas in this situation you would take about

30,000 IUs of vitamin d3 per day in this situation you would want

to take something called betaine hydrochloride

as well as apple cider vinegar the combination actually works very very

well so i put a link down below for more

information about hydrochloric acid thanks for watching before you go if you

have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug

because it’s not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to

help you this is just for the people in the u.s

hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call

but i put the number down below so you can call and get some help
