Ep. 20: Silent Reflux (LPR) & The Vagus Nerve: Understanding LPR Beyond Just Acid w/ Dr. Inna Husain


Listen Later

If you’ve had ongoing throat irritation, chronic cough, or reflux symptoms that don’t show up on standard tests, LPR (silent reflux) may be at the root — but it's one of the most frequently misunderstood and overlooked forms of reflux, and getting real answers can feel impossible. 🌿

In this episode, Molly Pelletier sits down with LPR specialist Dr. Inna Husain to break down what Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) exactly is, how it differs from your typical Reflux/GERD, and why the vagus nerve and nervous system play such a big role in your symptoms and recovery.
