Have you realized that adding in one more prescription is not the way to get you healing?
Do you feel like your healthcare team doesn’t quite understand what’s making you sick?
Are you tired of the shame that you feel when you are told that your health is getting worse and not better?
And are you finally ready for a different approach- one that empowers you and fills you up and one that has God in the midst of your healing journey?
I’m Karin Allumbaugh, functional medicine practitioner, Kidney Care Blueprint founder, and your host for the Rooted and Healing podcast.
As a former pharmaceutical researcher, I recognized that there was another approach to more and more prescriptions in the quest to achieve health. And when my mom was diagnosed with kidney disease, I saw first hand the problems inherent with our healthcare system, I saw so many recommendations that didn’t make sense scientifically and I also recognized that this approach left little room for God in the midst.
And that’s where the Kidney Care Blueprint came from.
This podcast further expands on those things that will help you heal, with kidney disease or beyond- autoimmune disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or blood sugar regulation issues, and more. We’ll uncover the foods and nutritional strategies that help you to heal. We will uncover the root causes that are contributing to your symptoms. We will talk about what is wrong with your current approach with your doctors and healthcare team. And most importantly, we will uncover the alternative therapies, the herbal remedies and supplements, the lifestyle changes that you need to finally go from fearful to courageous, as you are empowered to rest in God’s truths for your healing journey.

18. Gut Health, Kidney Decline & the Truth About Heartburn Meds
If you’re taking a PPI (like omeprazole or the “little purple pill”) to manage heartburn or reflux—and your labs keep getting worse—this episode is for you. Today we uncover the surprising truth about conventional heartburn treatments, the damage they can do to your gut and kidneys, and what you can do to start healing from the inside out.
What You’ll Learn:
How common heartburn drugs (like PPIs) contribute to chronic kidney disease
The link between poor digestion, gut inflammation, and kidney decline
What the research says: real data on how PPI use damages kidney tissue
Natural, functional alternatives: HCl, digestive enzymes, and gut-healing support
A real-life story of freedom: how Lisa ditched the PPI and healed her gut + kidneys
A faith-based reminder that God didn’t design you to live broken—He designed you to heal
Scripture Mentioned:
John 10:10, Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
Resources MentionedAssociation between Proton Pump Inhibitors and Kidney Disease – A large body of research shows that long-term PPI use can lead to chronic kidney injury and decline, even in people without obvious symptoms. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10762285/
Listener Highlight:
"For the first time in years, I can eat without fear. No more burning, no more belly pain, and I’m off the meds. I feel like I’ve got my life back—and my kidneys are finally healing too." – Lisa, podcast listener + client
