Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park explore why stomach acid production declines after 50 and how this physiological shift disrupts protein digestion, nutrient absorption, and can contribute to bloating and bacterial overgrowth. They break down the mechanism behind hypochlorhydria, discuss the overlooked downsides of long-term PPI use, and share practical, evidence-grounded strategies—from digestive bitters to betaine HCl supplementation—that work with your body's existing system rather than against it. Listeners will understand why "just getting older" often masks a treatable problem, and gain concrete tools to support protein digestion and nutrient absorption.
