Hi, I'm Molly, MS, RD. I specialize in acid reflux (GERD), LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux / silent reflux), and IBS. I founded FLORA Nutrition because I've lived this — chronic reflux and IBS were what pulled me into this field — and because I kept seeing the same pattern in my practice: people who had eliminated everything, tried the PPIs, seen the specialists, and were still symptomatic.
Restriction alone doesn't rebuild the mechanisms that are failing. On this channel, I explain the physiology your GI doctor often doesn't have time to cover — your LES, your nervous system, your barrier mechanics — and I back every recommendation with peer-reviewed research. If you want to understand why your body is doing what it's doing, not just what to stop eating, you're in the right place.

We talk about "stress" a lot, but let's look at the actual mechanics of what's happening.
When your body is in a state of high alert, it slows down something called the migrating motor complex — that's the rhythmic "cleansing wave" that moves food through your digestive tract between meals. When that slows, food sits longer than it should. Pressure builds. And reflux becomes much more likely.
This is why we aren't managing stress as some vague wellness concept — we're doing it to keep the digestive system physically moving the way it's designed to.
Small hinges swing big doors. Even a few minutes of intentional calm before eating can shift this. 🌿

It’s back. And it’s better. 🌿
Sequoia Soothe is officially live again as of this morning — with an updated formula.
If you’ve been following the ingredient breakdowns — the slippery elm deep-dive, the L-glutamine research, the zinc carnosine data — you already know the foundation of this formula and why I built it. This is the mucosal-support supplement I formulated from my clinical practice, with the exact ingredients and doses I use with my reflux clients every day.
What’s new: refined zinc dosing and added copper to support tissue repair and barrier integrity at the cellular level. When the research evolves, the formula evolves. That’s how I practice clinically, and that’s how I approach Sequoia Soothe.
The updated formula:
👉 Slippery Elm (1,000mg) — to coat and protect
👉 L-Glutamine (2,500mg) — to support epithelial repair
👉 DGL (300mg) — to support healthy mucus production
👉 Zinc Carnosine (7.5mg zinc + 0.5mg copper) — to support barrier integrity
Unflavored powder. No hidden irritants. Two scoops. 4–8 oz water. 30–60 minutes before a meal or 1+ hour after.

Before your next meal, try taking three slow diaphragmatic breaths — breathing deep into your belly, not your chest. This sends a direct signal to your vagus nerve that it's safe to shift into "rest and digest" mode.
It takes about 30 seconds and it's one of the simplest tools we have for supporting digestion before food even hits your stomach.
Curious — have you noticed a connection between your stress levels and your symptoms? Let me know in the comments. We're all learning together. 🌿

Ever noticed how your reflux flares up during a stressful work week, even if you're eating the same things you always eat? That's not random. Your gut and brain are in a constant conversation through the vagus nerve — and when your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight, it deprioritizes digestion. Blood flow shifts away from the gut, the diaphragm tightens, and the LES (lower esophageal sphincter) can lose coordination.
I see this pattern so often in my practice. It's one of the reasons we focus on nervous system regulation as a primary root contributor — not a soft add-on.
Have you noticed this connection showing up for you? I'd love to hear what you've observed. 🌿

Same architecture. Same clinical intention. Just sharper. www.sequoiasoothe.com/products/sequoia-soothe
Here’s the timeline:
👉 Thursday, April 30 at 6 AM ET — Early access pre-orders open for waitlist members.

I’ll also be releasing a video this week breaking down exactly why I updated the formula — including the science behind adding copper and why most supplement brands get zinc dosing wrong. Keep an eye on the channel.
