If you've been managing GERD or chronic acid reflux with medication alone and still not feeling like yourself, you're not alone. At Asa Wellness Center, Dr. Kayle Martinsen takes a functional medicine approach to reflux, looking at what's actually driving your symptoms rather than only suppressing acid.
Looking Beyond the Symptoms
Reflux and GERD can be connected to factors like digestive imbalances, food sensitivities, stress and nervous system regulation, and lifestyle patterns. Dr. Martinsen's evaluation looks at these underlying contributors as part of a whole-body approach to digestive health, rather than treating reflux as an isolated issue.
