Before I was aware that I had GERD, I was utterly clueless as to why I was dealing with multiple unpleasant symptoms: nausea, chest pain, dental issues, anxiety, etc. All I knew was that these symptoms were affecting my sleep, social life, and overall well-being.
After being diagnosed with GERD and making the decision to treat it naturally, I decided a major diet and lifestyle overhaul were in order.
