Support for Acid Reflux Through Functional & Chinese Medicine

If you’ve been popping antacids or avoiding certain foods just to get through the day, you’re not alone. Acid reflux can feel disruptive and frustrating—but it’s also a symptom your body is trying to tell you something. Rather than masking it, our approach looks at the deeper imbalances driving reflux: from stomach acid production and gut health to nervous system regulation and mineral depletion.

This is for you if...

  • You experience frequent heartburn, especially after meals
  • You rely on acid-blocking medications daily but still have symptoms
  • You deal with chronic bloating, indigestion, or food sensitivities
  • You’ve noticed symptoms worsen when you’re stressed or overtired
  • You’re looking for a root-cause approach that doesn’t just manage symptoms
  • You want to improve gut health, nutrient absorption, and daily comfort

Our Root-Cause Approach to Acid Reflux

Instead of simply suppressing acid, we explore why your digestive system is struggling in the first place. Functional lab testing and symptom mapping help us identify imbalances in gut flora, stomach acid production, stress response, and food triggers. From there, we build a personalized protocol that may include dietary shifts, Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, and nervous system support to help you feel better from the inside out.

Conventional medicine isn’t designed to find the root cause.

do any of these sound familiar?
  • Your lab results are "normal", but you struggle daily with symptoms that affect your quality of life
  • You've seen multiple doctors and are no closer to getting answers or relief
  • Your physical/mental health keeps you from living life the way you want to
  • Your doctor has told you "you'll just have to live with it"
  • You're looking for an option besides prescription medications or invasive surgery
  • You're beginning to wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again

...you’re not alone. Most care models focus on symptoms (not systems), and they often miss the full picture and rely on
generalized protocols that don’t work for everyone.

That’s why at Connected Healing we do things differently

We bring together the best of functional medicine, Chinese medicine and holistic health to get a full-body picture of what’s happening at a foundational level so your body's naturable abilities are restored.

Functional medicine

gives us the science using labs, data, patterns, imbalances, and deeper insight into your hormones, nutrients, thyroid, gut health, and more.

Chinese medicine

brings the wisdom by addressing the energetic patterns, organ systems, cycle observations, and subtle signs your body’s been giving you all along.

Together, these two systems allow us to see the whole you. Not just your ovaries. Not just your labs. But your stress, your digestion, your sleep, your cycle, your energy, your resilience and everything in between.
