Interested in learning more about the gastrointestinal system and how you can help your clients improve their response to training and overall wellbeing?
The Holistic Approaches to a Fully Functional Gut course is a two-day, in-depth workshop on the functions and dysfunctions of the digestive tract and the different approaches that will bring it back to full health.
The course is full of tricks and tips that will transform the way you consider GI health. Here’s a little taster of what you’ll learn…
Reflux misconceptions
Within the medical field, acid reflux is thought to be caused by excessive amounts of acid in your stomach, which is why acid-blocking drugs are typically prescribed or recommended. In most cases, however, this is a misconception as the problem often results from having too little acid in the stomach.
After food passes through your oesophagus into your stomach, a muscular valve called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) closes, preventing food or acid from moving back up.
Acid reflux occurs when the LES relaxes inappropriately, allowing acid from your stomach to flow backward into your oesophagus.
It’s important to understand that acid reflux is a symptom commonly related to factors that cause the LES to relax. You will learn more about these factors on the course.
Stomach or duodenum? Ulcer diagnosis and treatment

Learning how to resolve these symptoms is the next step.
