Dr Peter Belafsky: Professor of Otolaryngology and Co-Founder of Reflux Gourmet

Sports Business Conversations

I know, I know, I know. This is supposed to be a sports business podcast. The focus has always been on talking to people in the industry who are doing cool and interesting things. My challenge, though, is that I meet a lot of people from outside the sports business world who are ALSO up to cool and interesting things. And then my curiosity gets the better of me. Doctor Peter Belafsky is a perfect example of this. The renowned surgeon, inventor and physician is widely recognized as a leader in his specialty of …. Making sure I’m getting this right… Oto-laryngology. I’m told that’s science speak for the ear, nose, and throat. He’s treated kings, famous hip hop artists, athletes, and currently heads up the Voice and Swallowing Center at UC Davis. In our conversation, we’ll get into his origin story to discuss how he became a doctor, how he pursues ideas and innovations that lead to new devices and treatments, the launch of his new product Reflux Gourmet, and advice he has for people suffering from his area of focus, acid reflux. I’ll give you a hint: there’s GREAT news for coffee drinkers. So you’re welcome.
