 Next question is from Plain Jeannette. She is wanting to know tips or experience with heartburn or acid reflux. Justin wants to pick this. Justin's wheelhouse right here. Yeah, no, I've gone through all kinds of different options. I mean, I was the guy that was like taking Prilosec and all these other different medications just to try to eliminate it and forget it. When did that start for you? How old were you? Do you remember? I mean, it's been with me ever since I can remember pretty much. Really? Yeah, maybe I would say teen years for the most part because you start really kind of eating crap and you introduce all that stuff because I'm kind of going away from what I'm eating at my parents and I'm eating more fast food and things. Once I started eating fast food, it was just like. A whole tub of cookie dough, right? Yeah. I mean, do you remember how long you were like naive to it though? Like it was happening and you didn't like it's probably just everybody feels this way. Yeah, I really didn't even dawn on me until after college. Yeah, like I just I just assumed that that was something that was handed off to me from my dad because he has a really bad case of it himself and my brother as well. My dad actually associated it though with sleep apnea, which I found out is could contribute towards it as well. So that was something that I tested out and teased out and I was like, thank God, that's not it. I didn't want to have one of those Darth Vader machines hooked up to me at night and carry that thing around when we travel. God, I would tease you so much. Just the jokes alone would just kill me. You know what though? If you have sleep apnea, that's a life changer. I have family members who got it and they're like, I wish I used it before. Yeah. And so I've tried a lot of things and then we had talked about like with a couple of functional medicine doctors like they had mentioned that it's an acid. You know, I wasn't producing acid at the right times. It was a timing issue and I had trained my body to basically like through this whole sphincter valve thing, whatever you want to call it. Like it was releasing it at the wrong time and so it would go up in my throat. Like when I'd laid down at night versus having it there to digest as I was eating. And so to take these HDL pills was a strategy and I did went through that process for a while and it did somewhat help. But the latest thing now that I'm on is this licorice extract. I was trying to look that up while you guys were talking. A sphincter valve? That's like a real thing? Yeah. Any muscle that does this Adam? Yeah. So it's not just your butthole. A sphincter says what? Oh, that's the sphincter. That's the definition of that? Yeah, it's a sphincter muscle. I learned something new every day hanging out with you guys. Adam about it immediately. You have a butthole. That's what I was. I know Doug was looking the same way too. Doug looked at me and gave me the same look I had. Like what? Did he just? Doug just knows our humor. It's like someone's going to say something. So a de-glyceride licorice just for anybody that's curious. That's what I'm on now. So red lines? No, it's pills dude. You know, okay, so a lot of those proton pump inhibiting drugs like the ones you used to take. I know I fucked this up for Justin because they're effective. You take them. You don't get heart broke. You know what got me off those? The study about dementia. I know. It scared the shit out of me. I know. I'm sorry about that. You know, he's like, man, I take these all the time. They totally work for me. So, you know, man, I'm like, I'm going to look this up and see what's going on. And I find these new studies showing that these protein pump inhibitors are connected to a cognitive decline in dementia later in life. So I'm like, fuck. Share it with Justin. Yeah, I'm already happening. How long have you been taking these? So you're saying the football or that? The black licorice is a natural way to try and help. And now you take it right before you eat. How often do you take it? Yeah, like twice a day. And so, yeah, I've been taking that and also adjusting my diet. And that's something I, anybody that's suffering is through that as well. I really like highly suggest you go through an elimination diet and reintroduce different types of foods so you can really know what's the biggest. So SIBO is very closely connected to acid reflux. So SIBO is small intestinal bacteria overgrowth, right? So bacteria builds up where it's not supposed to. And if you have SIBO and your heartburn or acid reflux is due to SIBO, if you get rid of the SIBO, which it is curable. So SIBO is curable. Now, and a lot of people can come back. But if you cure it either with antibiotics or herbals, by the way, herbals in more recent studies were shown to be just as effective as the antibiotics. If you cure it and get rid of it, your problem will be gone. And some of these supplements contain lots of these anti-microbials in them. Peppermint oil and oregano and garlic and some of the stuff. But essentially what you do is you take them about 15 minutes before you eat. Then you eat and then what it does is sits in your gut. You throw the food at the bacteria. The bacteria comes out to eat the food, but because the presence of these herbals are in there, it'll kill them. The process of treating SIBO can take as long as two months. I mean, is that similar to how a probiotic is working too? No, probiotic is bacteria. So these are anti-microbials. They actually kill. It was like shaving away at it slowly. Yeah. So like peppermint oil, oregano oil, I said garlic and there's some other stuff. But I took two herbal concoctions, the ones that were in a study for SIBO. And I didn't get heartburn. Mine's different. But I did have SIBO and it was, it's called dyspioside is one. And then FC sidals and other. And those are the ones that I saw in studies that they actually use. Or you can go get antibiotics. But the problem with the antibiotics is they can be very expensive. Well, another thing too is it's like stress was a big component for that. That would set it off like almost immediately in speed of eating too. So I really had to like concentrate on slowing down, you know, taking deep breaths and eating slowly. And that really helped. And it's just kind of annoying because I'm like the last guy to finish food all the time now, but it really does help. And also cutting, eating after like six, six o'clock at night. It's amazing. And you still get it all over yourself. It's crazy. I'm still hungry.
