The way we diagnose AND treat heartburn has changed.

If you’ve ever been told you have heartburn, have been medicated for heartburn (and maybe still are) or have wondered if you have heartburn - this episode was recorded just for you.    I’m joined by my colleague and friend, Dr. Dominique Vanier, ND who has been an instrumental part of the education team at The Confident Clinician in the last year, educating more than 700 clinicians about reflux, heartburn and other digestive conditions that feel a lot like heartburn (but might not be!).    In this episode, we’re sharing  Heartburn myths and realities GERD diagnostic challenges Diet's impact on reflux Gut-brain interaction complexities Misdiagnosis and treatment issues Proton pump inhibitors and alternatives What individualized health care looks like (you can improve your symptoms!) If you’re ready for a new perspective on your digestive health, Dr. Vanier is accepting new patients at Clarity Health in Burlington servicing patients in person and virtually all across Ontario. You can find Dr. Dominique Vanier here and follow her on Instagram here.

Welcome to Real Integrative Medicine, where we break down the barriers between evidence and integrative practice. Hosted by Dr. Jordan Robertson, ND, our mission is to empower both patients and clinicians to make confident, evidence-informed decisions with integrative medicine. What's real? What does evidence mean? How should research change our day-to-day health choices? The show will cover the intersection between health, habit change and mindset to help you make confident and science-backed decisions in your health care. The podcast is the sister to our Youtube channel, Real Integrative Medicine, which is geared towards practitioners who want to make evidence-informed recommendations for their patients, without having to dig into the research themselves.
