Healing Heartburn and Restoring Gut Health Naturally
A Guide to Managing Acid Reflux and Restoring Gut Health, Naturally
Join Tieraona Low Dog, MD on Saturday, June 26, 2021, for "Healing Heartburn Naturally"
60 million Americans experience heartburn weekly, and another 15 million experience heartburn daily. Add the 30 million living with chronic gas, bloating, and constipation, and it is clear that many people struggle with a dysfunctional gastrointestinal tract. And as a result, tens of millions are unnecessarily taking potent acid-suppressing medications, often for years, and unaware of the potentially damaging effects.
In some cases, suppressing acid with medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is appropriate, even long-term. But studies show a startling 40–63% are prescribed inappropriately. And unfortunately, long-term acid suppression can lead to serious health problems. However, good news, 75% of people experiencing acid reflux have mild-to-moderate symptoms that are entirely amenable to lifestyle and natural approaches.
In this half-day webinar, we'll examine the potential adverse effects associated with PPI use—from gastrointestinal infections and food allergies to cognitive impairment and possibly gastric cancer. More importantly, you'll learn how lifestyle and dietary changes, as well as botanical therapies, can alleviate your heartburn and acid reflux while restoring and optimizing your gut health.

A Note from Tieraona
I am a physician who originally trained as an herbalist, midwife, massage therapist, and martial artist. I have been exposed to and deeply influenced by the wisdom of the grandmothers, midwives, and indigenous peoples of these lands. I have learned to gather, prepare and use the healing plants, ease the body’s pain with massage, help women bring their babies into the world, and tend to the sick. I have been at the bedside as life enters this world, and also as it leaves. I’ve sat quietly during ceremonies, taking in their mystery and wonder, witnessing the power of prayer and belief. I’ve watched as healers called upon the ancestors for strength and direction, assisted surgeons as they removed bullets and tumors, and transplanted organs, witnessed people near death in the intensive care unit walk out well a short time later, and just about everything in between.
All of these experiences, from the profoundly spiritual to the most medically advanced, have shaped my approach toward health and healing, and eventually led me to the field of integrative medicine—a discipline that melds effective natural healing methods, lifestyle, and medically proven treatments. It allows clinicians a broader way to think about the restoration of health and the prevention and management of disease.
For 15 years as Fellowship Director for the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine and the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine, I helped oversee the training of more than one thousand doctors and nurses in this common sense approach to health, healing and wholeness as Now I want to share my experience and knowledge with you, so that you feel comfortable with the “how, what, when and why” of using natural therapies.
If you want a deep dive into the world of natural and integrative medicine, I invite you to join me at Medicine Lodge Ranch.
