    Ep. 95 - Detoxification Demystified: Understanding Phase 1 & Phase 2 Detox from a Functional Medicine Perspective with Susan Greeley, RDN

    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 systemsSusan 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.

    Ep. 94 - Nitric Oxide

    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 BalanceNitric 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 pathwayThe 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 productionHow 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 productionThe connection between nitric oxide, circulation, cognitive clarity, hormone balance, energy, and sexual wellnessHow aging affects NO production—and what you can do about itCathy 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.Facebook:  Hybrid Medical SolutionInstagram: @hybrid_medical_solutionWebsite : www.hybridmedicalsolution.comYouTube: @HybridMedicalSolution

    Ep. 93 - One and done- Gene Editing

    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 CholesterolWe 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 InstructionsTraditional 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 ConsiderationsWe 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 CardiologyDr. 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.Flourish Research Info:Website: https://flourishresearch.com/locations/boca-raton/Phone #: (561) 513-6266 (ask for Johanna)Address: 7900 Glades Rd #400, Boca Raton, FL 33434Facebook:  Hybrid Medical SolutionInstagram: @hybrid_medical_solutionWebsite : www.hybridmedicalsolution.comYouTube: @HybridMedicalSolution

    Ep. 92 - Women's Cardiovascular Health

    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 womenWhy traditional risk calculators may underestimate riskWhat true preventive cardiology should look like for women in their 20s and 30sHow lifestyle medicine, nutrition, and stress management can be integrated with conventional cardiologyWhy women are more prone to Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) and how it differs from typical heart attacksA discussion on stress-induced cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo syndrome) and its connection to emotional and physiological stressThis 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.Dr. Abelhad's Info: Holy Cross Hospital: 954-772-2136American Heart Walk Donation: https://www2.heart.org/site/TR?px=15068577&fr_id=12628&pg=personal&s_src=nuclavismobile&s_subsrc=Nucl_iosM_FdrQRCInstagram: @nadiaabelhadmdFacebook:  Hybrid Medical SolutionInstagram: @hybrid_medical_solutionWebsite : www.hybridmedicalsolution.comYouTube: @HybridMedicalSolution

    Ep. 90 - Beyond Bloodwork - What Your Urine Says About Your Hormones

    In this episode of The Hybrid Healing Hour, we sit down with hormone expert Sarah Doyle to unpack one of the most talked-about — and often misunderstood — tools in functional and integrative medicine: Dried Urine Hormone Testing.Sarah walks us through what dried urine hormone testing actually measures, how it differs from blood and saliva testing, and why it can offer a more dynamic picture of hormone production, metabolism, and detoxification pathways. Together, we explore how to interpret results across key hormones like cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and melatonin — and what those patterns can reveal about stress resilience, sleep, fertility, mood, metabolism, and overall health.You’ll also hear about common mistakes practitioners and patients make when reading hormone labs, how to connect lab data to real-world symptoms, and how dried urine testing can be used as a practical guide for personalized healing strategies.Whether you’re a practitioner, a health enthusiast, or someone navigating hormone-related symptoms, this conversation will help you understand how to move beyond numbers on a page and into meaningful, actionable insights.🎧 Tune in for a grounded, science-informed conversation on how to truly interpret hormone testing — and use it to support real healing.Dr. Sarah Doyle's Info: Product: https://www.vita-fem.com/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/7X-Method-Truth-About-Thats-ebook/dp/B0FYHVGR2F/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2GNFRFBUI7P4T&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0Z0IMC3gSh-91rdLwGM1EF978RoL2buPHeHAMKFyqvDL3_VoyOE-k5CVc7TsRTZkJ5TFWUqRDdyGGJ-mWzXadd6uInUasOniMjyG0z-tQxxSRonUVu8Yfe9IOr4XoIGB4yeNYlV1XS39IBAKm1a9CPjk_IUaPYb2__gs1yoZt69I25bgw-Fuue_N5LHh2F2rt-6zG12jxd2CKPaV04vEwclTaFvtxj-5V1yckKCT5ZE.zIxjBA-vkoRCoEBwU009Rnx-3N9sIhqlHzjoNzJD9tc&dib_tag=se&keywords=sarah+doyle&qid=1767999316&sprefix=sarah+doyl%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-1 Consult: https://drsarahdoyle.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.sarahdoyle?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Website: www.hybridmedicalsolution.comFacebook: Hybrid Medical SolutionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hybrid_medical_solutionYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HybridMedicalSolution
