Ep. 31: The Supplements That Actually Help LPR (Most People Take the Wrong Ones)
The Reflux Revolution Podcast by Molly PelletierShow Notes
One of the biggest mistakes I see with LPR is people spend hundreds of dollars on supplements without understanding what they're actually trying to fix. In this episode, I'm walking you through the five supplements I most commonly use with clients for silent reflux, the specific mechanisms they target, and why pepsin (not just acid), could be the missing piece behind your persistent symptoms. ☝️
If you're struggling with throat clearing, hoarseness, chronic cough, globus sensation, or LPR that isn't improving on PPIs alone, this episode will help you build a smarter, more strategic healing plan. 🤲

Struggling with difficulty swallowing, dysphagia, or reflux? In this episode, we’re breaking down the connection between dysphagia, GERD, and LPR—including what causes swallowing problems, how reflux can impact your ability to swallow, and how dietitians and speech-language pathologists work together to support healing. 😇
Why do PPIs fail for some people with LPR and GERD and even after doing everything "right"? In this episode, I'm joined by reflux researcher Dr. Nikki Johnston to break down the role of pepsin and non-acid reflux, the latest research on pepsin-targeted treatments, and practical ways to reduce pepsin exposure. 🙌
Normal endoscopy but still dealing with a lump in your throat, chronic hoarseness, or constant throat clearing? You're not imagining it and your test results aren't the whole story.
