Can you relate? You may have been told that you have too much stomach acid, and that you need to go on medication to help reduce the acid your stomach is producing… What if I told you that it may actually be the opposite - that you may not be producing enough stomach acid?

Studies have found that people with Hashimoto’s often have hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) or achlorhydria (lack of stomach acid). When we have low stomach acid, we are at greater risk for many undesirable health consequences:

- Contracting parasites from our food.

- Food sensitivities.

- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

- Nutrient depletions, especially in calcium, iron/ferritin, and B12.

Supplementing with Betaine HCl and pepsin can make a tremendous difference because, once we begin to digest our proteins correctly, a few great things can happen:

- The body may not need to expend as much energy on digestion - and may begin to have a surplus of energy.

- The amino acids found in proteins become bioavailable, helping with the creation of neurotransmitters and fuel for the body.

- We’ll be less likely to react to our foods, as the food particles will get broken down into individual amino acids before they move further down into our gut.

- We’ll feel lighter after we eat and won’t have cravings for food when full.

Hot flashes and night sweats are actually not at the top of the list. It's the Trouble remembering. Disturbed sleep. Difficulty making decisions. Temper outbursts that can really disrupt your day!

Hormone therapy isn't for everyone, but for those who are candidates, the impact can be profound.

We often talk about HT in terms of hot flashes and night sweats. And yes, it helps enormously with those. But look at this data.

Trouble remembering. Disturbed sleep. Difficulty making decisions. Temper outbursts.

These are the symptoms quietly stealing your confidence, your productivity, and your quality of life.

This is why we don't settle for "just push through it."

You deserve to feel like yourself, at home AND at work.

Send this to a friend who keeps saying she's "just tired" or "just stressed." This might be the thing she's been missing.

One thing I’ve prayed for through this journey is to be surrounded by people who truly care about others not just in medicine, but in life too. And I can honestly say Johanna is one of those people. 🤍

I’m so excited for y’all to meet Johanna, a Nurse Practitioner who will be serving patients alongside Dr. Monts, myself, and the rest of our team here at Optimal Aesthetics.

Johanna is from Henderson, Texas, and brings a compassionate, whole-person approach to patient care. She believes in slowing down, listening, and helping patients uncover the root cause of what’s going on rather than simply covering up symptoms. Her passion for hormone health, wellness, and functional medicine shines through in every conversation.

What I admire most about her isn’t just her knowledge it’s her heart. She and her husband have dedicated part of their lives to helping others find hope and healing through their sober living ministry, and that same servant-hearted spirit carries into the way she cares for her patients.

I’ve had the privilege of learning from her, laughing with her, and watching the genuine compassion she has for people. She reminds me that medicine is at its best when it’s rooted in faith, purpose, and a sincere desire to help others live healthier, fuller lives.

I’m incredibly grateful God brought our paths together, and I can’t wait for you all to meet her. 🤍 Give her a follow
