The Straight Talk
almost died of acid reflux. Crazy, right? I was active and fit, a Spartan World Championship finisher. But over time my throat began to close on itself. I was popping antacids like they were vitamins. My doc prescribed meds - we'll get to those. The internet gave me seventeen conflicting answers. None of it worked.
I was eventually diagnosed with Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis. Acid reflux gets inside my throat and burns it. Scar tissue builds up. I lose the ability to breathe. After my second surgery to burn my throat open again I got serious about it. Why was this happening to me? What was the cause of my acid reflux? That's when my research took me to the gut.
I started eating better, and taking supplements and teas that dealt with the gut. I found a chewable with alginic acid that would quell the fire when it arrived. And these things together started to make a noticeable impact. In fact, at my last check-in my condition is now stable.
I noticed a gap. There was no supplement built for simultaneous symptom relief and repair. You could buy probiotics, and you could buy antacids. This was an incomplete solution. But we deserve a complete solution. So I built it.
