Acid Reflux

Acid Reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn and regurgitation. It is often triggered by certain foods, medications, obesity, stress, or a hiatal hernia. Managing acid reflux involves lifestyle changes such as eating smaller meals, avoiding trigger foods, and elevating the head during sleep, along with medications like antacids, H2 blockers, or proton pump inhibitors. Knowing your gut type, taking probiotics and making dietary changes are steps you can take to maintain a healthy gut bacteria balance.

Acne

Acne is a common skin condition characterised by the presence of pimples, blackheads, and cysts, primarily affecting the face, back, and shoulders. Acne is happens when pores in the skin become blocked. Often, this is due to a substance called sebum which is produced by glands in the hair follicles. Sebum normally helps keep the skin moisturised and water-proof. But too much sebum can cause acne. When pores get blocked they may become inflamed or infected, creating red bumps in the skin. Whilst getting spots is normal, acne is more severe and can be painful and impact self esteem. The types of spots include black and whiteheads, pustules and even cysts. Acne is triggered by hormonal changes at puberty or the menstrual cycle but also during pregnancy. At best acne is embarrassing, especially at a young age, but it can also cause scarring.
