概要

 Why GERD, Anxiety, and Cravings Are Often Caused by Too Little Acid—Not Too Much In this episode of Power Up Recovery with Nutrition, host Christina Veselak sits down with Mary Travostino, a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor and long-time integrative health educator, to explore the overlooked connection between low stomach acid, trauma, digestive health, and addiction recovery. Mary shares her deeply personal recovery journey—from childhood loss, substance use, and decades of unprocessed grief to chronic digestive illness and long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use—and how functional nutrition helped her uncover the real root causes behind symptoms that conventional medicine often misses. Together, Christina and Mary unpack why acid reflux and GERD are frequently caused by too little stomach acid, not too much, how trauma and chronic stress suppress digestion, and how blood chemistry markers can reveal hidden nutrient deficiencies, malabsorption, and impaired gut–brain signaling. This conversation sheds light on how digestion, protein intake, amino acids, and mineral absorption directly influence mood, cravings, anxiety, and relapse risk. This episode highlights why digestive dysfunction is not just a gut issue, but a full-body inflammatory and mental health issue, and why healing requires addressing biology, trauma, lifestyle, and nourishment together. Key Topics Discussed Low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) and acid reflux Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and long-term health risks Trauma, ACEs, and suppressed digestion The gut–brain connection in addiction recovery Blood work interpretation and missed digestive markers Protein digestion, amino acids, and neurotransmitter health Gallbladder removal, bile flow, and fat malabsorption GERD, bloating, anxiety, and chronic inflammation Stress, cortisol, and impaired stomach acid production Root-cause, functional nutrition approaches to recovery Meet Our Guest Mary Travostino is a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, IIN Health Coach, and community health educator with 30 years of experience in integrative healthcare.
