Episode 103: All About Digestive Enzymes with Dr. Devin Houston

In this episode I have an interview with Dr. Devin Houston PHD, who is the founder and CEO of Houston Enzymes. We’re answering so many questions about enzymes, like: Is it possible to have an enzyme deficiency? How can lactose intolerance increase with age? How quickly do enzymes work? We also discuss other topics like reflux at night, the problem with food sensitivity testing, why it’s important to get a “headstart” on food breakdown, and more.
