Are your supplements really working—or just expensive placebos? 🤔
This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Cassy Velazquez, biologist-turned-nutritionist, mom of two, and founder of Fussy Mom, a clean supplement brand built by a woman who’s seen everything behind the scenes of the wellness industry.
After helping launch brands like Metagenics, Arbonne, and Herbalife, Cassy faced her own fertility struggles and discovered she had the MTHFR gene mutation—which meant she couldn’t properly absorb the folic acid found in most prenatal vitamins. That moment changed everything.
In this episode, we dive into:
Her top 3 supplements for moms: prenatal, hair growth, and mood support
How to decode supplement labels (and what red flags to watch for)
The mental load of modern motherhood and why “doing it all” is a myth
Whether you're TTC, pregnant, postpartum, or just trying to make smarter wellness choices, this episode will help you navigate supplements with clarity, confidence, and science on your side.
🎧 Listen now for tips, truth bombs, and an inside look at an industry most of us don’t question nearly enough.
