Dr. Howard Christian is a well-being navigator, author, and advocate dedicated to helping individuals break free from the endless cycle of illness and symptom management. With a Ph.D. in immunology and a background in biomedicine, Dr. Christian's journey to overcoming acid reflux disease, allergies, and anxiety disorders taught him that true healing requires more than scientific knowledge; it demands a wholeperson approach that acknowledges the roots of illness, which are far deeper than biomedicine currently admits.
Understanding early in life that words have the power to heal or hurt, Dr. Christian harnessed the transformative potential of storytelling in his recovery. His experiences have fueled his passion for guiding others, teaching them that physical and emotional challenges serve as personal messages and opportunities for growth.
In his advocacy and writing, he focuses on helping individuals unearth the root causes of their suffering, embrace their narratives, and achieve lasting remission. Dr. Christian empathizes with the fear and worthlessness that often accompany chronic illness, and he aims to empower readers to move beyond perceived limitations. By leaning into discomfort and cultivating self-awareness, he inspires individuals to emerge as whole, empowered beings eager to reclaim their well-being.

When eating becomes more of a chore than a pleasure and the result is not a feeling of complete satisfaction, something is missing from your diet. And, perhaps, you suffer from an illness like so many others: GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease. It’s not a pleasant feeling to have the contents of your stomach regurgitated into the esophagus, causing heartburn and many other symptoms. In Dr. Howard Christian’s Your Home Remedy for Acid Reflux Disease, it’s reassuring to learn that there are ways to manage this condition and take control of your life without having to consume over-the-counter and/or prescription drugs. It’s a whole person approach to healing, rather than a long list of superficial and unwanted medications which often cause other symptoms.
In Dr. Howard Christian’s self-help book, Your Home Remedy for Acid Reflux Disease: Live, Eat and Heal Abundantly, the author leads readers on a journey of self-discovery as he shares his personal story of life with GERD. The book is organized so that it’s easy to follow and understand. Along with personal experiences, the author shares the experiences of others similarly suffering from GERD in the hopes of helping the reader find their way to self-healing. He includes a concise list of terms in a glossary at the beginning of the book, thorough lists of resources at the end of each chapter, and exercises to help readers join the healing journey. Following one man’s journey to take back control of his life from the clutches of GERD, this is an inspiring and encouraging read for sufferers of GERD and those who have loved ones suffering from the disease.
