The stomach is far more than a reservoir for food—it is a dynamic organ that orchestrates digestion, regulates appetite, and serves as a critical barrier against pathogens. Yet many aspects of its function remain underappreciated in everyday clinical practice.

In this episode of Mysteries of the Gut: GUT Revisited, Dr. Mahadev Desai and Dr. Manish Bhatnagar explore the fascinating physiology of the stomach, from acid secretion and gastric motility to the mechanisms underlying common gastric disorders. Through engaging discussion and clinical correlations, the session will uncover how this remarkable organ influences both gastrointestinal and systemic health.
