310. Why You Aren't Absorbing Your Supplements - Chervin Jafarieh

You are what you absorb, not just what you eat. Integrative Health Philosopher and Researcher Chervin Jafarieh joins Gary Brecka to explain what happens when your gut can't absorb what you take. They cover how antacids, soda with meals and low stomach acid affect digestion, why cortisol can leave you short on digestive enzymes, how liposomes made from phosphatidylcholine carry nutrients past stomach acid, and why slow chewing helps your gut get more from meals.
