Beyond the Burn: Acid Reflux, H.Pylori & other gut stuff with Dr. Dominique Vanier, ND

Heartburn. What is it and what can we do about it? In this weeks episode we talk to Dr. Dominique Vanier, ND all about gut health, specifically heart burn and what we know as ‘acid reflux’.We cover:-What acid reflux is-H. Pylori and if you can eradicate it naturally-The connection between your gut and brain and how some people may perceive and react to normal amounts of acid which can cause heartburn like symptoms-The myth that low stomach acid causes reflux symptoms-Food triggers and reflux ...

 

Bloated? We care. Even if others don’t.

Bloating is an annoying symptom that prevents many people from eating the foods they love, wearing the pants they love, and living abdominal-pain free. 

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my college Dr. Dominque Vanier, a Naturopathic Doctor and Gut-Focused practitioner who is the perfect guide to your bloat-recovery journey. 

In this episode, I ask Dominique questions like: 

  • When is bloating something more serious?

  • Why do hormones cause bloating and when should women have this looked into?

  • Why does bloating happen randomly? 

  • What are the first steps to understanding digestive health and bloating?

If you’ve ever changed your pants part way through the day, felt like you had to limit yourself because of your digestive pain or wondered what on earth was happening inside your gut (since it feels like a total disaster in there), this episode is for you. 

Dr. Vanier accepts patients in person and virtually in Ontario at Clarity Health and focuses on supporting people with digestive concerns and hormonal health (and both mixed together!).


The way we diagnose AND treat heartburn has changed

If you’ve ever been told you have heartburn, have been medicated for heartburn (and maybe still are) or have wondered if you have heartburn - this episode was recorded just for you. 

I’m joined by my colleague and friend, Dr. Dominique Vanier, ND who has been an instrumental part of the education team at The Confident Clinician in the last year, educating more than 700 clinicians about reflux, heartburn and other digestive conditions that feel a lot like heartburn (but might not be!).  

In this episode, we’re sharing 

  • Heartburn myths and realities

  • GERD diagnostic challenges

  • Diet's impact on reflux

  • Gut-brain interaction complexities

  • Misdiagnosis and treatment issues

  • Proton pump inhibitors and alternatives

  • What individualized health care looks like (you can improve your symptoms!)

If you’re ready for a new perspective on your digestive health, Dr. Vanier is accepting new patients at Clarity Health in Burlington servicing patients in person and virtually all across Ontario.
