If you follow my blog regularly you know I have a fascination and love for Southeast Asian cuisine that originated with my travels to Thailand and Burma. There’s something about the classic southeast Asian combos of salty (fish sauce and soy sauce), spicy (chilis and chili sauce), sour (lemon and lime) and sweet that I find absolutely magical. And addicting.
My latest addiction is Pho, a popular Vietnamese noodle soup. Though I’ve never been to Vietnam, Pho combines all those classic southeast Asian flavors into a unique and utterly delicious dish. Keep Reading…

Last week I made another appearance on Mass Appeal, a local morning talk show here in western MA.
It’s a quirky little show and I always get a kick (and an adrenalin rush) out of it.
I answered four basic questions about acid reflux: What is heartburn? What is GERD? Why is acid reflux NOT caused by too much acid? And why do medications for acid reflux cause long term health problems? Keep Reading…

Big Mac + Zantac = Prozac
I love that quote by Dr. Alan R. Gaby. I think it captures so much that is wrong with modern society.
If the quote isn’t obvious in its meaning, let me explain.
Big Mac represents bad food.
Zantac is an acid blocker. Tens of millions of people take acid blockers (Prilosec, Prevacid, Pepcid, Nexium, etc.) to stop stomach acid from refluxing into their esophagus.
Contrary to popular belief, acid refluxes into the esophagus NOT because tens of millions of people produce too much acid. As I explain in my book, The 30 Day Heartburn Solution: A 3-Step Nutrition Program to Stop Acid Reflux Without Drugs, this is the myth that the pharmaceutical companies propagate. This myth sells A LOT of acid blockers. Keep Reading…

Today I want to share with you a story that I share in the Introduction of my new ebook, The 30 Day Heartburn Solution.
Several years ago I gave a talk at a local library on acid reflux. This is a condition where stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus and burns the lining resulting in heartburn. If this happens chronically it can damage the esophageal lining. This is known as GERD (Gastro-esophageal reflux disease).
In my talk I explained in detail why heartburn and GERD are not caused by too much stomach acid, but in fact, NOT ENOUGH. Keep Reading…
