Hiatal Hernia Syndrome | There is a Cure

In this webinar, you will get a deeper understanding on what a hiatal hernia is, how we have had success treating it and the best solution for you.
Webinar Summary:
Hiatal Hernia Syndrome can be effectively treated by addressing the root cause through a personalized program that includes normalizing and treating the gut, addressing structural effects, balancing and toning core muscles, and considering nerve involvement.
00:00
People with Hiatal Hernia Syndrome often experience a range of symptoms that are misdiagnosed as stress or acid reflux, leading to ineffective treatment and compromised digestion in the long term.
04:35
Hiatal hernia syndrome can be resolved by addressing the root cause, which includes normalizing and treating the gut, addressing structural effects, balancing and toning core muscles, and considering nerve involvement.
07:51
Food sensitivities and poor diet are internal causes of hiatal hernia syndrome, and testing for imbalances in the gut can alleviate symptoms such as bloating, gas, acid reflux, constipation, and diarrhea.
11:47
Hiatal hernia syndrome has various root causes and requires a tailor-made program to address symptoms such as shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and panic attacks, as conventional medicine's approach with antacids is not effective and has negative side effects.
15:08
Hiatal Hernia Syndrome can cause intense gut symptoms, even in small or subclinical hernias, and there are myths that there is no cure or natural therapy, but this is not true.
17:23
A personalized program is the cure for Hiatal Hernia Syndrome, addressing the root cause rather than relying on drugs, with an emphasis on the body's ability to heal itself.
20:16
Committing to lifestyle changes and identifying the root cause with Root Cause can successfully treat Hiatal Hernia Syndrome, resulting in symptom resolution and improved sleep and energy levels with an 85% success rate.
22:38
The root cause hiatal hernia syndrome program is tailored to each individual with an integrated approach from a team of doctors, and a free 30-minute consultation is offered to determine if it's a good fit for the patient.

I have had heartburn for over 30 years and been on Anti Acid tablets, then I had bowel surgery for cancer 4 months ago and 6 weeks later started getting really wicked Acid Reflux so bad I can't sleep lying down. I can't sit up straight without my voice becoming hoarse. I am in pain day and night. I was diagnosed today with a small hiatial hernia. I was told I could have surgery then warned of the complications which put me off, and then listened to your video on problems with getting surgery for this and I am totally put off. I do have food intolerances, often have a white tongue, constipation etc.

[@Desertmoon_1229]

I had a slip disk in my back. And I noticed that it was affecting the tightness just above the esophagus in my stomach and it was painful, but I noticed upon massage that the impulses were coming from the spine and the nerves were coming out right at that spot.

[@benshearrow]

It’s great that your practice helps to correct the root causes of the problems. I recently started to limit all sugar from my diet including cutting out bread, baked goods, junk foods and fried foods. I eat Salmon, Cod grilled chicken, eggs and vegetables. I also fast for 16 hours a day. I have GERD, Hiatal Hernia and Fatty Liver Disease. The American Diet is to blame. Some Doctors only prescribe drugs, but do little if anything to help people solve the root cause. I was told many times that my panic attacks and palpitations were all in my head. I wish I found your practice much sooner.

[@briank1263]

I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I can relate to 95% of this informational video. I went to the ER and they said I was full of stool and sent me home with magnesium citrate and a script for colace 100mg twice daily for 10 days. I do feel constipated (not able to fully empty my bowels and less frequent bowel movements), however, my main complaint is epigastric pain. Right under my breast bone. Some gerd but nothing crazy and some heart burn. I also get this weird wheezing feeling on occasion. I eat a whole foods diet with plenty of water and fiber. I had to eliminate fruits and honey because they caused me to have sharp pain along with the constant ache in my diaphragm. Also burping frequently. Leading up to the constant dull ache and occasional sharp pains in the epigastric area, I felt a weird sensation in my esophagus. Like something was stuck in there. I do intermittent fasting and often eat a large meal in the evenings. I can't do that currently as I get severely bloated and get heart burn. The dull ache weirdly subsides for a little while after eating only to return a couple hours later. I do get heart palpitations as well... I should mention I was on SSRI for 22 years and recently got off of them(15 months ago) but have been having a ton of psychological and physical symptoms. It's been a rollercoaster ride in hell, honestly... I have a few appointments with my PCP and a GI doctor as well as a naturopath doctor this week. I live in Bradenton . It looks like you're close by. If I get the diagnosis I'm thinking I'll get I'll probably reach out to you for help in the near future. Very Blessed to have found your video! Take care.

[@ALFarrell-kv6ok]

My brother and I cycle in nearby mountains. He was diagnosed decades ago with a very moderate hiatal hernia. But it only ever bothers him every few years. He just puts some water in his mouth and drops hard onto his heels while gulping down the water to resolve that. He used to sometimes experience a very short, sharp pain in his upper-left chest between the throat and the nipple. He would then experience palpitations for about 10 minutes. He would finally burp and all symptoms went away. He learned that if he quickly swallowed a fizzy drink before cycling, he would then burp and have no more chest pain or palpitations cycling up the hills. 2 years now and no more problems.

Spinal nerve damage, at 27 (10 years ago), 120k of debt (not counting the 50k I need to fix my teeth now), 5 years barely able to move enough to work or maintain my house, hundreds of SVT episodes and a handful of AFib episodes and I'm still not out yet and can't sleep anywhere near flat... BIGGEST help so far has been stopping by the meds that made it all worse, Carnivore diet, learning to hold my breath when bending or lifting and cutting every toxin I can possibly think of (soaps, shower filters, water filters, plastic clothing, cooking pans/utensils, expensive foods, ECT,ECT).... It has stopped me from having children and every hobby I had...... Praying daily for help to get my life back that doesn't make me lose my house... I think Linx surgery is my final try.

Wow you’re going through a lot :( I also have SVT I believe due to menopause. May I ask which medications you stopped taking?

[@CampJe]

@@CarmQ Honestly I cannot even remember them all over the last decade. Many different antidepressants, antacids, muscle relaxers, and other random things for off label use.. Plus hundreds of supplements..... The last year or so I stopped; cymbalta, baclofen, naltrexone and nexium... Still working on all the heart rate control pills.

Now working on weight loss but it’s a real struggle trying to lose weight in menopause lol I’m tired of the acid reflux. But every time I struggle with digestion problems, I get palpitations and tachycardia. I’m also convinced most doctors don’t know what the hell they’re doing!

ANOTHER SYMPTOM . I had tingling in my calves and in the center of my feet. Once I was diagnosed with hiatal hernia and started to do my own research; I started doing belly breathing exercises and the tingling in my legs and feet stopped. What I've concluded from that was somehow nerves were being compressed and affected my body elsewhere.

[@debbiec6216]

Wow! You are a smart person . I had tingling in my toe ( yes it sounds weird , but it's 100% true) .

[@BorselinoThadchack]

this is all good and fine, but upon checking your clinic, I see that insurance is not accepted and most of your costs will run from $500 for a doctor's appointment (if you're not a monthly subscriber ) to $1,200 or more for treatment. So, it s a bit odd that you don't include that in your videos

[@nessieness5433]

Very often these videos are all about money. Check out dr. Gupta, from York (GB) he has excellent videos and does not plug any books or supplements.

[@jjones8587]

Unfortunately because big pharma, main stream medical and insurance companies are all holding hands and sharing profits. Medical practitioners who utilize the functional medicine practices (treating the cause, not the symptoms) are not covered by insurance. Hmmmm. This is unfortunate but these functional medicine practitioners still need to make a living. It simply is going to cost the consumer more

[@jeremybaker7502]

I had a big acid reflux problem. I was told I had a hiatal hernia. I stopped eating carbs and sugar and did intermittent fasting. Immediately my reflux stopped and my sleep apnea also disappeared along with many other health benefits!!!!! Do keto!

[@thedatepro]

The root cause for me was childhood trauma. After spending my life savings on how to manage my hernia without surgery I finally figured out what caused mine. Once I addressed my dysregulated nervous system caused by trauma and did some trauma release work and used a device called Iqoro and following Pam Fox's hiatal hernias, I am finally living a pain free life and can eat anything I want now. I have also stopped drinking alcohol and anything with caffeine because they relax the muscles around where the sphincter is. My years of drinking lots of both didn't help matters any. My heart goes out to anyone who has a hiatal hernia that is causing them any pain, reflux, anxiety, insomnia, SVT, or more. It took me nearly 20 years to figure all this out and I am so happy to see people like Dr Vikki Petersen addressing this often over looked health issue that 99.999% of health professionals do not know how to treat.

[@DrVikkiPetersen]

Glad it worked for you.

[@roneeclark1329]

It saddens me that are health care system is so messed up in the U.S. Doctors really don’t care. They are stuck in their ways and just want their work day to be over like everyone else. It’s a shame we pay so much in healthcare costs for poor quality help. I salute this doctor for thinking outside the box. 😁

[@DrVikkiPetersen]

Thank you Ronee. You're correct; our current healthcare system is in a poor state.

[@dawnoliver2015]

Omigosh 1000xs worse in SA. All I have learnt has come from alternative drs on US on internet and Dr Gupta from York in UK. The struggle just makes one feel hopeless when all drs. here look at you and treat you as if its all in the head. I have even developed lymph cancer in psoas, which I swear has to do with longterm ppis and this is the 1st time in my journey of trying to find answers, which began 2011, that I have even heard psoas is connected to this problem. I always feel like info comes one puzzle piece at a time and sooooo slowly, with constant searching, that there are times I could howl with hopelessness and frustration, especially seeing I cant get any dr to listen to me or take me seriously.😢😢😢 Thabk you for this channel and info I hsve just found.

If I lay on my right side, I fall into a deep sleep REM. However, this is when I often wake up nervous and breathless and sometimes experience extreme tachycardia. I have talked to my cardiologist, GP, endocrinologist etc and of course there's no answer. They say the symptoms are unrelated. Yet, when I sleep on my right side I feel I'm causing compression to my stomach, pancreas or liver. It is difficult for me not to turn on my right side during sleep because I have a difficult time falling asleep most nights. I was eventually admitted to hospital due to diabetes and dizziness where I was told I had VVS and was prescribed anti-vertigo medication. It doesn't work and does not solve the problem.

Been to primary care on a regular different specialist & hospital visits to only diagnosing anxiety & obesity. I don’t have allot of heartburn unless I eat something to agitate it I really don’t experience allot of pain with my hiatal hernia either but I do experience all the other symptoms & it’s just getting worse.

Wow this has opened my eyes to what has been a problem for me since 2018.. My initial symptoms where feeling bloated and chest pains which caused me to panic thinking it was a heart attack I was diagnosed with stress panic disorder and prescribed ssri’s which I refused to take.. I coped with the panic attacks and became anxious not knowing when I’d have another episode and have managed to cope since that point.. Ive always had acid reflux but usually treat this with over the counter antacid treatments and thought nothing of it untill recently i had what I thought was a sore throat from hell which wouldn’t go away.. Went to see gp and was referred to endoscopy to find I have a 2cm sliding hiatal hernia and barrats osophagus.. The syndrome to speak of is exactly what all my symptoms are since 2018 and the doctors never picked up on it at that point and said it was mental health issues. Every symptom you said I have had for a long time now and i now realise the pressure in my chest the bloatedness and shortness of breath are because I have thos syndrome and have been mis diagnosed back in 2018.. I just need to work out how to get this sliding hernia to go down and to stay down becauese even at 56 years old I have fabulous core strength and regularly go to kickboxing and mainatain a healthy weight.. My diet is appalling to be honest and this is what’s caused gerd to begin with but ive leant more about this condition in one video than any doctor could have told me for years thanks for this info I feel I can try to resolve something now that I know exactly what it is I’m suffering with ❤❤

You’ve made me so happy. I thought I was going crazy

[@Lycon721995]

I have been on antacids pantprozole and Prevacid for years now, i'm wondering if the damage is already done

[@1fancygirl]

I have all the symptoms and experiences you mentioned...and I have sensitivity to eating ANY foods. 40 years of doctoring and testing etc, and still no relief or answers. I've stopped eating in the past because of the pain and stress, but that didn't help anything, made more symptoms, duh right? So glad to have found this channel, I hope I can figure my issues out and help myself 😊

[@dougclark184]

I feel your pain good luck

[@NansGlobalKitchen]

Same for me but as you say I do my own research on the medical sites and watch a lots of doctor here on KZbin. One doctor I watch a lot is Dr Eric Berg he has thousands of videos on KZbin on everything that you can think off, and with 11million subscribers or more following him can speaks for his helpful videos. I will check out some of them to see how to heal myself. Good luck on your health journey 🙏🏻

[@ChickadeeBird]

DrBerg is great and I like Dr Ken Berry and Dr Robert Cywres as well. Dr Sunjay Gupta from York Cardiology … and more. Many on youtube for free

[@suesmith2398]

Have you figured anything out 1fancygirl? I'm in the same boat. Going through the change of life is bad enough but having a bad gallbladder from losing too much weight too fast and having a sliding hernia is just too much. I'm so down and beaten. Doctors here in Canada are quite USELESS. Went to ER but they did NOTHING. Now i have to wait 3 weeks to see my doctor who will not let me go for blood work during these 3 weeks to see if I have some kind of infection. It's a $hit show. I might not make it to the appointment, not feeling this bad. I'm going to try taking mastic gum to see if that will help. I KNOW i have something bad going on in there so I'm desperate to help myself.

[@1fancygirl]

@suesmith2398 I changed my diet and that has helped symptoms. No gluten, wheat, dairy, coffee, caffeine (except in green tea, small amt), soy, oats, sugar alcohols (sorbitol, etc), and I watch my intake of all sugars, especially cane sugar. I also dont eat late at night anymore, and have started eating an actual breakfast instead of my protien shakes. Learning about how glucose works in the body has been very helpful (glucose goddess - youtube), and regulating my blood sugars was key to many symptoms. Ive started (slowly) drinking kombucha daily, taking digestive enzymes, and that has been helping too.

[@nancyboulden4262]

Dr. Petersen!!! I’ve watched hours of videos on hiatal hernia and none of it comes close to your amazing presentation. I sure wish you were my doc.

[@nanasloves]

Can you address HH and vertical sleeve gastrectomy?

[@dawntaylor603]

With the shortness of breath, does it make your oxygen levels lower? My O2 is lower 92-93 (sometimes wheezing) when I first wake up, making my heart beat faster and after 1-2 hours of being awake and moving coughing up mucus it gets better. I do have a Hernia and Heart tested fine.

[@Bwoxz]

Coughing up mucus sounds lung related. Get cleared by a pulmonologist. Yes. Shortness of breath can show lower O2 saturations.

[@tukoshka]

You need more CO2 than oxygen. Try Buteyko breathing method.

[@hendersoncrew336]

Been using tums for 20 years. Probably 2 to 10 a day. Sometimes more. The prescriptions don't work for that but have, in my opinion, caused other issues.

[@kimnana9]

I never had any hernia symptoms before until i did a gastroscopy i don’t know if it irritated something there but I feel the worst in my left sternum just above the stomach.. is it possible that the scope made it worse?

[@debfryer2437]

How is a hiatal hernia seen? X-ray? CT scan? How?

[@rozaz4754]

The most accurate is endoscopy.

[@johnrocafortjr9935]

So the cure is to go to where your company is at??? How about you tell us how to do some at home stuff not everyone can travel!! You could at least give us some tips all your videos are the same!

[@ancientknowledge525]

There's some other videos from various subscribers and their videos have helped me with my hiatal hernia. It's only been 2 weeks and not 100% but getting there. It's basically free to do the exercises but takes a lot of dedication and I've changed my diet too.

[@dandersohn]

I know everyone is different but would you be willing to share what you have done to change your diet? I have just been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and I’ve been suffering for a while. I’m glad that I found out what it is but now I’m going to do exercises and trying to lose weight and changing my diet. I’m cutting out alcohol forever and also coffee. Too hard things to do but I am dedicated to feeling better. Please share what you eat and what you don’t thank you

I just Commented on your other Video Dr. Vikki. This is Magnificent Info. I suffer with mkany of the Symptoms delineated on your videos, Including Heart Palpitations. I have Spinal Imbalances with Cervical Instabilities, which are affecting so much in my body I am a sufferer for decades! I'm 72 and much of this all started when i was 31 or so. I point out that per a Cervical MRI - my first taken - in 2012 denoted that I have a More Narrow Than Normal Spinal Canal. According to the Mayo Clinic - only 5% of the population have this abnormality. With the amount of OA in my spinal discs, DDD throughout, Lumbar / Thoracic Dextroscoliosis of 25 degrees (created by a Leg Length Discrepancy of a 1" shorter right leg as a result of a Femur fracture in 1966).

[@ArijSaheli]

I have all of this symptoms and more ( heart palpitations.. difficult of breathing .. panic attack bloating constipation anxiety shoulder pain ..) for 12 years they give me all the medications you mentioned in the video.. and 3 months ago i did endoscopy and i found that i have hiatal hernia and gerd and my doctor told me that my symptoms is not related to hernia .. so i did research on google and found all my symptoms is caused by hiatal hernia .. i give up from the doctors I visited most of the good doctors in my city through the years and they all failed to find why i have this symptoms… Thank you for making this video iam from saudi arabia 🇸🇦

[@samcohen5705]

Dr. Vikki, Thank you for the information and focus on the issue. I drank about a quart of Horchata approx.. 8 weeks ago and my belly got very large. I am a slender man , almost 65. I have now gained about 10 lbs. and it is not going away. I exercise and try to eat properly. I do have a VA doctor who sent me for an endoscopy and results were normal for pathology and for my CT scan. Report showed a Medium Hiatal Hernia. I also now have neck and shoulder pain. I started taking 250 mg of simethicone for relief of the bloating , gases and pressure. I anticipate another appointment with my VA doctor so that we can discuss this further. I'm not able to eat nearly as much as I used to and have cut back on fatty foods. Just hoping for better ideas on how to treat !

[@SusiFernando-e5p]

I am crying now as this is Soo me. Soooo Sooo Soo mew 1000 percent me Why not a single doc I have seen all these years, had detected... Will you help me..? If I go and tell this to our docs here. They frown when patients say that they looked up the net..(Understandable to some extent) Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EternalGaze8]

Are you saying a sliding large hernia can be CURED? Without meshing it via operation? Because you’re saying pretty detailed things about hernias but then being broad about how this could heal via a tailored experience. Now if you mean it’s just therapy to manage the hernia that’s one thing. And reversing a very small sliding one and it healing is another. But to say this can cure hernias is misleading, is it not? Or is it always possible? Genuinely asking.
