Ep. 11: Healing GERD Acid Reflux Naturally — A Buddhist Monk’s Story of Strength & Surrender

What does it take to heal chronic reflux without relying on medication?

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, we’re joined by Ajahn Upasama, a Buddhist monk living in Western Australia who shares his personal story of healing GERD, getting off PPIs after 8 years, and finding peace in his body again.

Ajahn brings a rare mix of spiritual depth and lived experience to the reflux healing journey—reminding us that healing isn’t always quick, but it is possible.

🎙 In This Episode:

• What led Ajahn to step away from PPIs after nearly a decade • The physical and emotional toll of rebound reflux

• Discovering herbal support like slippery elm & DGL

• How the FLORA method aligned with his mindfulness practice

• The role of patience, presence, and surrender in gut healing • Practical meditative tools for nervous system regulation

• What it means to befriend your symptoms instead of fight them

🧘‍♂️ About Ajahn Upasama:

Ajahn is a former teacher and long-time practitioner who now lives at Bodhinyana Monastery in Western Australia. His work integrates Buddhist teachings, somatic wisdom, and spiritual strength in a way that speaks to anyone struggling with chronic illness, pain, or disconnection from their body.

💛 If you’ve felt discouraged, defeated, or unsure of your next step—this episode will leave you feeling grounded, hopeful, and reminded of your body’s capacity to heal.
