About.com has launched a six-part podcast series to educate consumers on how to cope with heartburn and acid reflux disease.
The series, sponsored by AstraZeneca, will provide listeners with in-depth knowledge on topics such as: What Causes Heartburn; Acid Reflux and Your Diet; How to Talk to Your Doctor about Acid Reflux; Exercising with Acid Reflux; and How Stress Affects Your Acid Reflux.
The series is the first of its kind on About.com. Each podcast will be approximately 3 to 5 minutes long and will be distributed monthly on About.com. Older podcasts will remain available to visitors throughout the series.
"Podcasts provide an exciting new format for delivering trusted health information. Users can now choose to listen online or take the information with them," said Marjorie Martin, general manager, ABOUT Health. "This series on heartburn and acid reflux disease should provide the millions of sufferers with the tools to better manage their condition."
Mona Khanna, MD, MPH, is the program's host. "Mona" is a quadruple board-certified practicing physician and Emmy award-winning medical correspondent.
"This program is another example of AstraZeneca's commitment to providing support, education and resources to patients to better manage their conditions," said Dana Settembrino, brand communications manager, AstraZeneca. "The podcasts allow us to provide educational information to patients in a unique and creative way."
