What is creatine, really? It’s not just a powder for bros at the gym—it can have health benefits for everyone.

Our bodies naturally make creatine (about 1-3 grams per day), but we can also get it from animal-based foods.

If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, you might consider supplementation more strongly because you don’t get creatine from food, so your body relies entirely on its own production of creatine.

Want to enjoy your favorite holiday dishes without upsetting your digestion?

Dr. Roberts explains how slowing the transit of your food through the digestive tract can help—by pairing simple sugars with proteins or fats rather than eating them alone.

How does your body absorb Vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12 is a big molecule. In order to be absorbed by the small intestine, it needs to bind to intrinsic factor—a protein made in the stomach.

We think about serotonin as helping with mood, but did you know that it’s actually made in your stomach?

Why do you really need stomach acid?

If you struggle with symptoms of acid reflux or GERD, you might think stomach acid is the problem. But it actually plays a vital role in digestion.

Stomach acid helps break down food—including the collagen-rich proteins found in meat. Stomach acid also helps stimulate the production of pepsin, an enzyme that further breaks down proteins.

Dr. Robert’s explains the different ways acid production in the stomach supports the break down of proteins to ensure you have smooth digestion.

Stay tuned for more information coming later this week on the stomach’s role in the digestive process.

Why does the esophagus even matter in digestion?

✅Food takes about 8-10 seconds to travel through the esophagus.
✅The pH level in the esophagus is neutral (unlike the more acidic stomach).
✅Maintaining a neutral pH level in the esophagus is extremely important for preventing acid reflux.

Where does digestion really begin?

You may think of the stomach, or the small intestine, but did you know that digestion actually begins in your mouth?

Dr. Roberts explains the mouth’s role in digestion—from mechanical breakdown to the stimulation of amylase and lipase in your saliva.

Why should you care about your body’s digestion?

Digestion does more than just break down food. It helps form the building blocks for communication and neurotransmitters in our body.

Your body can’t function properly without a healthy digestive system, which is why the gut plays such a major role in so many chronic health issues.
