Moli Eddins, MSN, AGNP-C is a board-certified Adult and Geriatric Nurse Practitioner, licensed to practice in Connecticut, Florida, Nevada, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Campbell University and spent nearly five years at Duke University Hospital, where she worked in high-acuity settings, including the cardiac intensive care unit.

It was during her time in the ICU that Moli recognized a profound need for more proactive, preventative care, an insight that inspired her transition into advanced practice. While pursuing her graduate degree at Duke University, she had the opportunity to train at a functional medicine clinic in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. There, she discovered a model of care that resonated deeply with her personal philosophy: to treat the whole person, listen intently, and build meaningful partnerships that help patients feel seen, heard, and supported.

This immersive experience sparked her passion for outpatient and integrative medicine and solidified her commitment to a root-cause approach to care.

Moli’s clinical interests include connective tissue disorders, mast cell activation syndrome, hormone optimization (including PCOS, peri- and postmenopausal care, and pre- and post-conception planning), autoimmune conditions, geriatric health, and cardiometabolic disease. She frequently works with patients experiencing complex, overlapping concerns such as digestive disorders, high toxin burdens, and chronic bacterial or viral infections.

Guided by the words of Annie Dillard, “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives”, Moli views it as a profound privilege to provide care that empowers her patients and enriches their everyday lives.

When she’s not supporting patients, you’ll likely find her immersed in a podcast, walking with her partner and two doodles, working on a needlepoint project, or tending to her sourdough starter.
