Talking Nutrition
Talking Nutrition is the podcast for women who did everything right and stopped seeing results. Hosted by Johan Vesters, online nutrition and functional health coach, and founder of Odyssey Coaching Systems, the show digs into what is actually going on under the surface: metabolism, fat loss, thyroid, hormones, gut health, blood work, and the mindset and behavior change that makes results stick. No crash diets, no quick fixes, no fear-mongering. Just education, real client stories, and honest conversations, so you can understand your own body, ask better questions, and take ownership of your health.

#208 - Stomach Acid - Do You Have Too Much or Too Little?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever feel bloated or heavy after meals, maybe even get heartburn, and your doctor says you have too much acid? What if it’s actually the opposite?
In this episode, Johan breaks down why most reflux symptoms aren’t about “too much acid” at all. You’ll learn what stomach acid really does, why low acid is often the real problem, and how common fixes like PPIs might be making things worse. Get ready to flip everything you thought you knew about heartburn and digestion.
You’ll learn:
- The real role of stomach acid and why low levels cause bloating, fatigue and nutrient deficiencies
- The most common causes of low stomach acid (and why stress and diet matter more than you think)
- Simple, practical steps to support healthy acid levels naturally
- And much more
