""For over sixty years, we've been led to believe that acid-blocking medications are the solution to indigestion," Berkson writes. "But the reality is, the problem is often too little acid, not too much." This misdiagnosis leads patients to suppress their stomach acid unnecessarily, worsening nutrient absorption and long-term health."
"Similarly, she challenges the normalization of chronic flatulence. While marketed as a minor inconvenience remedied by "gas pills," persistent bloating and gas may signal deeper digestive dysfunction. "It's not just an annoyance - it's a sign your gut is struggling," Berkson asserts."
"Central to Berkson's philosophy is the idea that digestion dictates systemic health. Fatigue, brain fog and immune dysfunction often trace back to cellular malnutrition from poor nutrient assimilation - not just dietary choices."
Pharmaceutical approaches to digestive health frequently focus on symptom suppression rather than correcting root causes, using acid blockers and gas remedies that can perpetuate dysfunction. Many cases of heartburn and reflux arise from low stomach acid, and acid suppression can impair nutrient absorption and long-term health. Chronic bloating and flatulence often indicate underlying digestive imbalance rather than minor inconvenience. Labeling unexplained bowel symptoms as IBS can dismiss treatable causes. Poor nutrient assimilation leads to cellular malnutrition, contributing to fatigue, brain fog, and immune problems. Science-backed, drug-free interventions can restore digestive function and improve systemic health.
