It’s so easy sometimes. I struggled myself many years with Reflux (also took a lot of proton pump inhibitors) but it’s gone since I take care of my circadian rhythm. In hindsight it’s so obvious what is the root cause of it.

Thanks for the clear explanation. There’s a lot of video content from Drs Jack Kruse and Max Gulhane on circadian rhythms, the dangers of unnatural blue light, and connected health issues. None of it is as clear this, to the non-specialist. I’m fortunate to live in a sunny country at latitude 22ºN, boosting my melanin by day and watching the sunset without glasses!
Is GERD endemic in Spain, where dining late has been a tradition for longer than I know? Or are there variations in circadian rhythm based upon imaginary lines on a map?
I'm new here, and I suspect I have a lot of catching up to get on the same page as those who've been hanging around for a while.
Personally, if I were looking for a root cause for GERD (and also for hiatal hernia, sleep apnea and/or ventricular arrhythmias), I'd focus on the impact that sitting around watching all those screens (blue lit or otherwise) has on posture. It's a fairly direct link, without a lot of mental gymnastics. The thorax leans forward, compressing the organs within it. Things get distorted and can't work the way they are intended. Nerves get impinged, muscles weaken, etc. Fix that thoracic spine, and you'll likely fix other issues like lower back pain, knee pain and/or foot pain. Remember that the hip bone is connected to the thigh bone, etc. Everything is physically interconnected.
It all comes back to correlation not proving causation.
There are many lifestyle factors that play a role, but I’m not aware of the GERD/acid reflux rates in countries like Spain or Italy. Their population is generally healthier for a number of reasons, especially being closer to the equator. Healthier people = more resilience = less likely to experience negative symptoms like acid reflux (although I wouldn’t be surprised if they did experience it)

Thanks for your view on this!

Yes, plays a huge role in the conversation

Absolutely fascinating and makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing this--I have several people in my life who this info will definitely benefit!
Glad to hear it resonated! Please share it with anybody who struggles with these issues 🙏🏼
Amazing to hear!
