I am so pleased with my progress since I’ve started working with Margaret. I developed LPR early in 2023 and was really suffering with throat and ear pain for months. It was a very stressful and upsetting time for me as it was really affecting my lifestyle. I started working with Margaret in May, and am so happy with my results so far. I've just returned from a trip to Greece where I was able to eat and drink anything I wanted! It felt amazing after all the stress I had been through with eating and symptoms previously.
I really like the format of the academy. It is great to be able to learn about the body and how reflux works so I can then make decisions myself about how to improve my symptoms and lifestyle. The supplements and remedies suggested by Margaret are game changing, and I never would've learned this much on my own or through my regular doctor. I'd definitely recommend the Reflux Relief Academy for anyone suffering with these types of symptoms!

I feel blessed that I discovered Margaret on YouTube. I suffered with Gastritis/LPR for over 6 months bouncing to multiple GI/ENT specialists to only be giving loads of omeprazole and other anti acid medications. I knew there had to be a better way to tackle this. I wanted to know exactly how this machine (my stomach) and diet played into my symptoms.
The Reflux Relief Academy enabled me to better understand my situation and how to heal my gut. Just knowing Margaret had dealt with this in her past and recovered gave me alot of confidence that I can too. I'm pleased to say that before starting the program between 1-10 (10 being bad off) I was a 9. Now I am a 4 in seven weeks of following the program's guidance. I also had a long list of other symptoms that have all resolved. I'm happy I found the Reflux Relief Academy!!

Prior to starting the Reflux Relief Academy I had heartburn symptoms multiple times EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I had every symptom on the list. I had all of the symptoms of GERD while also having all of the throat symptoms such as sore throat, lump in throat, difficulty swallowing, etc. Prior to starting the academy I had just weaned myself off of the acid reflux medications that my doctor had placed me on. Even on the medications there wasn't much improvement in my symptoms.
After hearing Margaret's story, I had hope that one day I could live free from my symptoms. I decided to join her Reflux Relief Academy and I started implementing her protocol right away. Since starting the academy, I have seen a drastic decrease in the amount of symptoms I have on a daily basis. I am able to eat foods again that I was scared to eat before. I can honestly say that it has changed my life.
I saw several doctors and practitioners about my reflux symptoms and all they could do was prescribe a medication that would only provide relief temporarily and I still had to be careful about the foods that I ate. They didn't give any educational advice on why the problem was happening in the first place. The Reflux Relief Academy gave me insight on what my body is trying to tell me when I'm experiencing symptoms and it gave me a variety of ways to find relief. For the first time I feel like I have hope to finally be able to live a normal life and be symptom free. I would recommend to anyone that is tired of living with miserable acid reflux symptoms to give the Reflux Relief Academy a try. I promise you won't regret it.

I had been struggling with GERD for over 30 years and the last year dealing with gastritis. I am so thankful for Margaret's journey and her new program to help people like me with gut issues. I was desperate to stop taking the PPIs. I knew they were causing other issues like anemia.
I ordered every supplement Margaret recommended. I can't believe how quickly I started to get relief. Within a week I was no longer taking Pepcid every day. I'll occasionally need a Tums if I eat something too spicy but that's all. My sleep has improved too. I feel so much better physically and mentally. It's also easier for me now to stay on track and eat healthy. For anyone considering this program, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I wish I had heard about it earlier.

When I discovered the Reflux Relief Academy I was in a place where I had struggled with LPR for quite a few very long weeks. I was not getting a whole lot of guidance from my doctors (of which I went to a primary, ENT, and GI) who were all consistently prescribing me more and more PPI medication to help heal and relieve my symptoms (which If you can guess, was not working at all). Thankfully, I found the Reflux Relief Academy and the pieces all started coming together!
Over the course of the 4+ month journey I was on to understand what was going on and what to do about it, I finally figured out that alkaline water was one way to help soothe some irritation in my throat. But the problem will continue if you don’t figure out what the source of the reflux is and how to stop it. Even though I thought I was making progress, I wasn’t even close to understanding how it all started and how to bring it all together.
The information was so informative and gave me a great background into where this all starts in your body and how it gets to the point where your internal digestive process starts working against you.
Her program is very realistic in that it does NOT focus on elimination diets (which everyone, even doctors will tell you to do when experiencing reflux) and truly focuses on trying to get your digestion working properly to then heal yourself and foster an environment for proper digestion in the future. Margaret also brings a great deal of attention to the mind-body connection that you have and how that imbalance due to stress/anxiety can severely affect your digestive health. I always heard people talk about that connection, but I never really listened until I heard it from Margaret with all the evidence she provides on how damaging it can be (as well as how much I was personally experiencing). She provides simple and effective methods that can really help ease these symptoms, which are good for not only digestion, but overall health and well-being.
I have recently stopped taking all my PPI medication at this time and am slowly backing down the H2 blocker prescribed as well (first time in 4 years not being on a PPI). This whole time period has been a real learning journey for me in that for the last few years of being on a low dose PPI I’m finally understanding how to get my body back to homeostasis and let it be its best advocate to heal itself. No one was born and raised to wake up and take a pill first thing in the morning before they eat breakfast in order to not feel burning in their chest or throat. Thankfully with this program, I’ve learned the tools and awareness of how to not have to do that anymore!! Thank you, Margaret!
