Ep. 29: The Vagus Nerve Secret to Ending Reflux For GOOD w/ Grace Secker

Living with constant Acid Reflux, LPR, or GERD can start to feel like you’re doing everything “right”- clean diet, avoiding triggers, taking medications - yet the symptoms just won’t let up. What often gets missed is the piece controlling it all: your nervous system. 🧠In this episode, Molly sits down with Somatic Therapist & Nervous System coach, Grace Secker, to unpack the gut-brain connection and how dysregulation can quietly drive reflux symptoms and keep your body stuck in a cycle of hypersensitivity, and how to begin shifting out of it for real, lasting relief. 😇Learn more about Grace: www.healwithgrace.coInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heal.with.grace/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heal.with.grace💚 Get the FLORA™ App today to find Relief from Reflux (7-Day Risk-Free Trial): https://www.mollypelletier.com/flora✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:✔️ How the vagus nerve impacts digestion, motility, and reflux symptoms✔️ Why being stuck in “fight or flight” can weaken the LES and worsen GERD/LPR✔️ Why symptoms can persist even after the "right" diet changes✔️ What brain retraining and nervous system regulation actually look like in practice✔️ Simple practical tools to calm your body and signal safety during a flare🌿 Resources & Support: • Coaching & Resources: www.flora-nutrition.com • Instagram: @mollypelletier.rd • TikTok: @mollypelletier.RD • Apply for coaching: https://www.mollypelletier.com/nutritioncounselingapplication🙏 If this episode helped you better understand your gut-brain connection, share it with someone stuck in the reflux cycle - and don’t forget to follow and subscribe to the podcast for more evidence-based reflux and gut-healing strategies!Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not a substitute for personalized medical advice.
