Hiatal Hernia Affects Gut Detox – Video

The Hidden Link: Hiatal Hernia and Gut Detox

In this video, Dr. Vikki Petersen explains how Hiatal Hernia Syndrome disrupts gut detox: the Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) is a crucial digestive process that removes toxins, bacteria, and undigested food from the gut. The MMC activates three hours after eating but is often hindered by SIBO, IBS, gut infections, and stress. Hiatal hernia worsens these issues by irritating the vagus nerve and triggering a stress response, leading to acid reflux, bloating, and anxiety. Dr. Petersen outlines a natural approach to restore MMC function, including meal timing, fasting, stress reduction, and vagus nerve support, to improve digestion and detoxification.
