What Your pH Is Really Saying About Your Health

You’ve probably heard that your body should be “alkaline.”
But what if I told you that being too alkaline could actually mean you’re not absorbing nutrients — and your body is stuck in survival mode?

In RBTI testing, one of the numbers I always look at closely is pH. But not the way most people talk about it.

Unlike most wellness trends that aim for a perfect “7.0” or higher, RBTI shows us that the ideal pH for healing is 6.4 — not too acid, not too alkaline.

Why? Because 6.4 is the zone of digestion, enzyme activity, and cellular energy. It’s the sweet spot where your body can actually:

Absorb minerals
Detox efficiently
Use oxygen for healing
Keep inflammation under control

When your pH is off — even slightly — your whole body starts working harder just to function.

So what does pH tell us in RBTI?

We measure two kinds of pH in your body:

Urine pH (reflects kidney function and waste removal)
Saliva pH (reflects liver, enzyme activity, and digestion)

Ideal: Both at 6.4.

Here’s what happens when things go off:

🔻 TOO LOW (acidic):

Your body is in a stress state — burning through minerals, enzymes, and energy
You may feel anxious, wired, or exhausted
It can trigger pain, inflammation, and poor digestion
Minerals like calcium and magnesium aren’t absorbing — even if you’re supplementing

🔺 TOO HIGH (alkaline):

Your digestion is weak or sluggish
Your body is trying to conserve resources by slowing down
Detox slows to a crawl
Tired, heavy, and bloated feelings often show up
You're at risk of mineral deposits or calcification

👉 It’s a myth that “alkaline is always better.” In fact, extreme alkalinity can cause just as much harm as excess acidity — especially to your gut, bones, and hormones.

Why 6.4?

According to Dr. Carey Reams (the founder of RBTI), 6.4 is the balance point where the body functions most efficiently. It’s where energy is made, waste is eliminated, and healing can truly begin.

When we test your urine and saliva pH, we’re looking at how well your body is managing that balance — and where we need to support you to shift it back into healing mode.

Why This Matters Beyond Digestion

You might be wondering — how does my pH connect to things like PCOS, MTHFR, dysautonomia, Achalasia, Colitis, Chrones disease, Celiac, or even diabetes and PKU?

Here’s how:

When your pH is off — whether too acidic or too alkaline — it disrupts the digestive process, meaning your body can’t properly:

Break down food
Absorb minerals
Activate enzymes
Eliminate waste

And when digestion is compromised, everything downstream suffers — especially systems already under stress from genetic or hormonal imbalances.

👉 PCOS: Improper pH affects insulin sensitivity, increases inflammation, and throws off hormone signaling.
👉 MTHFR mutation: Poor pH affects methylation, detox, and nutrient utilization — especially B vitamins and folate.
👉 Dysautonomia: This condition is worsened by poor mineral absorption and adrenal fatigue — both closely tied to pH imbalance.
👉 PKU: Digestion and enzyme activity are already impaired in PKU — pH imbalance compounds this, making it harder to utilize what little protein they can consume.
👉 Diabetes: If sugar and pH are both off, the body becomes stuck in a vicious cycle of blood sugar swings, mineral loss, and inflammation.

👉Achalasia: Poor pH = weak enzyme activity = more pressure on already compromised esophageal function.

👉Colitis (Inflammation of the Colon): When urine and saliva pH are too acidic, the body may be in a constant state of inflammatory response.

👉Crohn’s Disease: Crohn’s patients often swing between poor nutrient absorption and toxin buildup — pH is a key indicator of where that cycle is happening.

👉Celiac Disease: If pH is too acidic, your system may be overstimulated and unable to calm inflammation or rebuild gut tissue.

These are just a few of the health issues I help clients with every day — and there are many more. What’s remarkable is that this one simple test has helped transform the lives of hundreds by revealing what’s really going on beneath the surface.

While the diagnoses may differ — PCOS, Crohn’s, MTHFR, diabetes, and beyond — they often share a common root problem: cellular stress caused by internal imbalances the body can’t correct on its own.

And that’s why RBTI testing matters. It helps us see what's happening before these imbalances spiral into disease… and gives us a plan to support your body at the root level.

There are 100,000 chemicals on the market today. The toxic Substance Control Act of 1976 grandfathered them in. What does that mean to you? Simply put: these chemicals have not had any safety testing, and we know very little information about their side effects. Since 1940's prostate cancer is up 200%, Thyroid cancer up 155%, Brain cancer up 70%. What happens when your body is chemically overloaded? It may not be cancer, but we can feel in ways like: lethargy, inability to focus, sleep trouble, chronic inflammation, unexplained pain, skin issues, adult acne, hot flashes, stress, anxiety, and fear.
