In this episode, I’m joined by Cathy Eason, FNTP, board-certified holistic nutritionist, educator, and clinical advisor for Berkeley Life. We dive deep into the critical role of nitric oxide (NO) in systemic health, its connection to oral and gut microbiomes, and why nitrate supplementation is fast becoming a foundational pillar of preventive wellness.
Cathy Eason, MS, CNC, HHP, is the Learning & Development Manager at Berkeley Life, where she leads Clinical Education initiatives focused on Nitric Oxide (NO) science and its integration into clinical practice. With a background in holistic health and decades of experience, Cathy supports healthcare professionals through consulting, training, and educational content development—translating the power of NO, known as “The Miracle Molecule” and now “The Longevity Molecule,” into practical tools for vibrant aging.
