Detox cleanses are everywhere — from juice programs to supplements promising to “reset” your body. But what do they actually do?

In this episode, we look at the difference between commercial detox cleanses and the body’s natural detoxification systems. You’ll learn how your liver, kidneys, and digestive system continuously process and eliminate substances — and what the evidence says about whether short-term detox programs add anything beyond that.

We also explore why detox messaging is so compelling, especially when people feel off, tired, or out of balance. The idea of a quick reset can feel appealing, but it may oversimplify how the body actually works.

By the end of the episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what detox really means, where the evidence is stronger or weaker, and how to think about claims around toxin removal and cleansing. This is about moving from marketing language to a more grounded, evidence-informed view of how the body maintains balance over time.

Deciding whether to participate in clinical research is something more people are encountering — but it’s rarely a simple yes or no.

In this episode, we explore how people make decisions about joining clinical trials and other types of research. While many people are aware that studies exist, far fewer ever take part — raising important questions about what influences those decisions.

You’ll hear how factors like trust, clear information, practical logistics, and personal motivations all come into play. From understanding risks and time commitments to thinking about potential benefits or contributing to future care, participation decisions often involve weighing multiple considerations at once.

Dr. Tara Moroz is joined by Wes Michael, President & Founder, Rare Patient Voice, LLC, for a grounded conversation about how patients and care partners think through these choices in real life.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how people approach research participation — and what matters when deciding whether it feels right for you.

Health advice is everywhere online — often shared by influencers who feel relatable, honest, and real. But what does authenticity actually mean when it comes to health information?

In this episode, we take a closer look at influencer-driven health advice and how it shapes what people believe, trust, and act on. You’ll learn how personal stories, relatability, and repeated exposure can influence decision-making — sometimes in helpful ways, and sometimes in ways that are less clear.

We also explore what research suggests about the accuracy of health information on social media, and why credibility is often judged based on how someone appears, not just what they say. That can make it harder to distinguish between content that feels trustworthy and content that reflects the broader evidence.

By the end, you’ll have a clearer way to think about authenticity, credibility, and what it means for health advice to hold up — especially in a space where confidence and visibility don’t always align with evidence.
