Meet Molly Carr, Nurse Practitioner & Herbalist Specializing in Integrative Care and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

Margo Gladding on 04/07/2025

We are thrilled to welcome Molly Carr, NP, to our nutrition counseling team at Village Green Apothecary! With over 25 years of experience as a nurse practitioner and clinical herbalist, Molly brings a unique, integrative approach to chronic illness, combining evidence-based medicine with holistic therapies like Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and botanical medicine.

A Holistic Approach to Chronic Conditions and Inflammation

Molly’s practice focuses on addressing the root causes of chronic health issues like:

Chronic fatigue and post-viral syndromes (including Long COVID)
Digestive disorders, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
Autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and eczema
Anxiety, depression, and addiction
Sleep disorders and chronic pain

Drawing on nearly two decades of herbal medicine experience, Molly designs individualized protocols to support the body’s natural healing systems—especially when addressing inflammation, detox pathways, and stress-related imbalances.

Expertise in Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Therapy

One of Molly’s primary areas of expertise is Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), a promising therapy that is gaining traction for its ability to:

Modulate the immune system
Reduce inflammation
Support mood and neurological balance
Offer a gentler alternative to immunosuppressants and steroids

She uses custom-compounded LDN, carefully tailored to each patient’s biochemistry and health history. Molly stays current with the latest LDN research and enjoys educating patients about how LDN may support long-term healing from autoimmune, inflammatory, and mood-related conditions.

Patient-Centered, Integrative Care—In Person or Virtual

Molly offers both in-person and telehealth consultations for residents of Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. She accepts most major insurance plans and collaborates with Village Green Apothecary to provide comprehensive care.

Whether you're navigating chronic illness, looking for LDN support, or interested in integrative therapies, Molly is here to guide your healing journey with empathy and clinical expertise.

Rooted in Nature: A Passion for Herbalism and Detoxification

Inspired by The Toxin Solution by Dr. Joe Pizzorno, Molly advocates for gentle, supportive detox protocols that honor the body’s natural healing processes. She draws from her background in folk herbalism, functional medicine, and mind-body practices to create personalized plans that support each patient’s unique physiology and pace.

Outside of the clinic, Molly enjoys gardening and growing her own medicinal herbs, spending time in nature through forest bathing and long walks, and hiking with her husband and their beloved dog, Chipper.
