Ep. 7: What Holds Most People Back From Healing Acid Reflux
The Reflux Revolution Podcast by Molly PelletierShow Notes
Welcome back to the Reflux Revolution Podcast—your go-to space for real-talk, science-backed relief from reflux, GERD, and LPR. I’m Molly Pelletier, MS, RD—registered dietitian, former GERD sufferer, and founder of Flora Nutrition. In this episode, we’re talking about something I see all the time: people who are doing everything right—cutting out foods, taking supplements, trying all the protocols—but still not feeling better. If that sounds like you, this episode is for you. You’ll learn the real reasons healing can stall (and it’s not because you’re not trying hard enough). From nervous system dysregulation to mindset traps and supplement overload—we’ll unpack what might be getting in the way, and how to shift toward real, sustainable healing.
🎯 What You’ll Learn: • Why mindset and nervous system health are essential for reflux healing • The “food tunnel vision” trap and why how you eat matters more than you think • The problem with chasing quick fixes and supplement overload • How to stay consistent—even when healing feels slow • Why healing starts when your body feels safe If you’re stuck, discouraged, or just plain confused—this episode will give you clarity, hope, and practical direction.
