When we get into that parasympathetic mode, that's where the magic happens. You can properly digest your food. Your body can actually use the vitamins and minerals effectively. You can have better bowel movements, you can feel more rested so chewing is a gateway for those. - Morgan Lewis
People think too much stomach acid is a negative thing, which it can be. However the actual issue, especially with GERD and IBS, it's not enough stomach acid. - Lauren Bryson
We can get back to being healthy without it feeling like a burden financially and time-wise as well. But it's all about getting creative and going back to the basics. - Morgan Lewis
