Hybrid Healing Hour Podcast
Episode: The Truth About Supplements: What to Take, What to Skip, and Why It Matters
Guest: Susan Greeley, RDN

In a world flooded with powders, pills, and promises, how do you actually know what your body needs—and what’s just expensive marketing?

In this episode of Hybrid Healing Hour, Dr. Brian Moraes sits down with registered dietitian Susan Greeley to cut through the noise and deliver a clinically grounded, no-BS conversation on vitamins and supplements. From widespread deficiencies to the hidden risks of over-supplementation, this episode is your roadmap to smarter, more personalized nutrition.

We start by asking the big question: Do most people actually need supplements—or has the industry outpaced reality? Susan breaks down the difference between true deficiency and “suboptimal” status, and how modern food systems may be quietly shaping our nutrient intake.

From there, we dive into Susan’s go-to “foundational” nutrients—Vitamin D, magnesium, B-complex, and more—unpacking who truly benefits, how to dose intelligently, and when even “healthy” supplements can backfire. You’ll also hear how genetics, lab testing, gut health, and life stage all influence what your body actually needs.

But this isn’t just about what to take—it’s about what to avoid. We tackle the real risks of over-supplementing, the dangers of trending high-dose protocols, and how to spot quality (vs. hype) when choosing a supplement brand.

Finally, we bring it back to basics: Can food alone meet our needs? And if not, what’s the simplest, most effective strategy for optimizing your health without overcomplicating your routine?

We close with a fan-favorite rapid fire: “Vitamin Truth or Trash”—where Susan calls out the most overrated supplements, underrated nutrients, and common mistakes people make every day.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your supplement stack is helping—or hurting—this episode is essential listening.

Topics Covered:

Vitamin deficiencies vs. “suboptimal” health
The impact of modern agriculture on nutrient density
Vitamin D, magnesium, B-complex, and fat-soluble synergy
Genetics (MTHFR) and personalized supplementation

In this episode of the Hybrid Healing Hour Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most misunderstood topics in health and functional medicine—detoxification. Joining us is registered dietitian Susan Greeley, RDN, who brings her expertise in nutrition science and metabolic health to help break down what detox really means inside the human body.

Rather than focusing on trendy juice cleanses or short-term detox programs, Susan explains the biochemistry of the body’s natural detoxification systems, particularly the roles of Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification pathways in the liver. Listeners will learn how these complex processes transform toxins, medications, hormones, and environmental chemicals into compounds that the body can safely eliminate.

We explore how nutrients, diet, lifestyle, and environmental exposures influence these pathways—and why supporting detoxification isn’t about extreme protocols, but about providing the body with the tools it needs to function optimally.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification actually mean
• Why detoxification is primarily a liver-driven biochemical process
• How certain foods and nutrients support detox pathways
• The role of antioxidants, amino acids, and plant compounds
• Environmental toxins and the modern toxic load
• Common misconceptions about detox diets and cleanses
• How functional medicine approaches detoxification differently
• Practical dietary and lifestyle strategies to support the body’s natural detox systems

Susan also shares simple, science-based strategies listeners can use to support their detox pathways through nutrition, helping move the conversation away from gimmicks and toward evidence-informed metabolic support.

If you’ve ever wondered how the body truly processes toxins—or how nutrition can support these pathways—this episode offers a clear and practical guide to understanding detoxification through a functional medicine lens.

Tune in to learn how to support your body’s built-in detox systems for long-term health and resilience.

On this episode of Hybrid Healing Hour Podcast, we sit down with Cathy Eason, MS, CN, BCHN, CFSP—Chief Science Officer at Berkeley Life, board-certified nutritionist, and functional medicine educator with more than 30 years of clinical experience.

Cathy specializes in the powerful role of nitric oxide (NO) in women’s health, circulation, hormone balance, and energy—and in this conversation, she breaks down the science into practical, actionable strategies you can start using today.

Fueling Nitric Oxide Naturally: Food, Circulation, Energy & Hormone Balance

Nitric oxide is often called the “missing nutrient” in modern diets—and for good reason. As we age, our body’s ability to produce NO declines, impacting circulation, brain function, stamina, and even sexual health. Cathy explains how simple food and lifestyle choices can help restore and maintain healthy nitric oxide levels naturally.

In this episode, we explore:

The science of nitric oxide made simple—understanding the enzymatic pathway vs. the dietary nitrate pathway

The difference between nitrates and nitrites in food (and why vegetables are your friend)

The top nitrate-rich foods—like leafy greens, beets, and other powerhouse vegetables—that support NO production

How much nitrate-rich produce you actually need (including practical benchmarks like daily spinach intake)

Why processed foods, low vegetable consumption, and even common habits like mouthwash use or antacids can disrupt nitric oxide production

The connection between nitric oxide, circulation, cognitive clarity, hormone balance, energy, and sexual wellness

How aging affects NO production—and what you can do about it

Cathy also shares realistic food swaps, meal strategies, and lifestyle tips to optimize nitric oxide naturally, while clarifying when supplementation may complement a holistic wellness plan.

If you’re looking to support vascular health, boost energy, enhance mental clarity, and maintain hormone balance—especially through midlife and beyond—this episode delivers science-backed insights with practical tools you can implement immediately.

Tune in to discover how everyday nutrition can transform your circulation, vitality, and long-term wellness—starting with the power of nitric oxide.

In this episode of Hybrid Healing Hour, we sit down with Dr. Michael Hafran, Regional Medical Director of Flourish Research in Boca Raton, for an in-depth conversation on the future of cardiovascular medicine: gene editing for high cholesterol.

Dr. Hafran takes us inside the groundbreaking VERVE-102 clinical trial, developed by Verve Therapeutics, which aims to transform how we treat familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and severe LDL elevation. Rather than relying solely on lifelong medications to manage cholesterol levels, this investigational therapy explores the possibility of rewriting genetic instructions that drive elevated LDL at its source.

Key Points Discussed:

🧬 The Pathophysiology of Cholesterol
We break down how LDL cholesterol contributes to atherosclerosis, plaque formation, and cardiovascular risk — and why some individuals are genetically predisposed to dangerously high levels from birth.

🧬 Understanding Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH)
Dr. Hafran explains the genetic mutations behind FH, how it differs from lifestyle-related hypercholesterolemia, and why early diagnosis is critical.

💊 From Managing Disease to Rewriting Instructions
Traditional treatments like statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, and lifestyle interventions focus on management. The VERVE-102 trial represents a paradigm shift: a single-course gene editing therapy designed to permanently reduce LDL by modifying the PCSK9 pathway at the DNA level.

⚖️ Safety, Ethics & Long-Term Considerations
We explore the big questions:

What are the potential off-target effects?

How do researchers evaluate long-term safety in gene editing?

What ethical considerations arise when altering genetic code?

How do the risks of untreated FH compare to the risks of gene editing?

🔬 Risk vs. Benefit: A New Era in Preventive Cardiology
Dr. Hafran offers insight into how clinicians weigh the lifelong cardiovascular burden of FH against the promise of a potentially one-time genetic intervention.

This episode is a compelling deep dive into precision medicine, prevention, and the evolving science of cardiovascular genetics. Whether you're a healthcare professional, researcher, or someone personally affected by high cholesterol, this conversation sheds light on what may become one of the most transformative advances in heart disease prevention.

In this powerful episode of the Hybrid Healing Hour, we sit down with Dr. Nadia Abelhad, Clinical Cardiologist and Women’s Heart Health Specialist, for an eye-opening conversation about cardiovascular disease in women — a topic that is still widely misunderstood and dangerously underrecognized.

Despite decades of awareness campaigns, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death among women — yet symptoms are often dismissed, misattributed, or missed entirely. Dr. Abelhad breaks down why this gap persists and what needs to change in both medicine and patient advocacy.

We explore how heart disease presents differently in women compared to men, from subtle symptom patterns to differences in underlying physiology, including microvascular dysfunction and inflammatory drivers that don’t always show up on traditional testing.

From a preventive cardiology perspective, we discuss the early warning signs women should never ignore — including unexplained fatigue, shortness of breath, jaw or back pain, palpitations, and changes in exercise tolerance — symptoms that are too often labeled as “just stress” or “hormonal.”

Dr. Abelhad shares how she empowers patients to advocate for themselves in medical settings, especially when their symptoms are minimized, and explains how hormonal transitions across a woman’s life — puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause — uniquely influence cardiovascular risk.

We also dive into:

How inflammation and metabolic health drive heart disease in women

Why traditional risk calculators may underestimate risk

What true preventive cardiology should look like for women in their 20s and 30s

How lifestyle medicine, nutrition, and stress management can be integrated with conventional cardiology

Why women are more prone to Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) and how it differs from typical heart attacks

A discussion on stress-induced cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo syndrome) and its connection to emotional and physiological stress

This episode is both educational and empowering — offering science-backed insight while equipping women with the knowledge to take ownership of their heart health at every stage of life.

Whether you’re in your 20s and feeling “too young” to think about heart disease or navigating perimenopause and beyond, this conversation may change the way you view your cardiovascular health forever.
