#10 Bryce Hanna | How Modern Farming, Bright Lights & The Wrong Supplements Are Aging You Faster

What if the supplements you are taking to improve your health are actually working against the chemistry of your body? In this episode of Holistic Dynasty, master herbalist and independent biochemistry and nutrition researcher Bryce Hanna joins us for a deep dive into supplementation, methylation, mental health, nutrient deficiencies, and the complicated biochemistry behind why the same supplement can affect two people very differently. Rather than looking at vitamins and minerals as isolated solutions, Bryce explains why nutrients work together—and why blindly adding supplements without understanding their cofactors, interactions, and downstream effects may create entirely new problems. We explore methylation, MTHFR, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, thiamine, mineral balance, and the relationship between nutritional biochemistry and psychiatric health. We also discuss why more supplementation is not always better and why sometimes the smartest intervention may be removing something rather than adding another pill. In this conversation, we explore: Why more supplements do not necessarily mean better health How nutrients interact with one another inside the body Why taking a nutrient in isolation can sometimes backfire What methylation actually is and why it matters The relationship between MTHFR, methylation, mood, and mental health Why methylated B vitamins may not be right for everyone How magnesium, thiamine, potassium, sodium, and other foundational nutrients work together Why iron supplementation requires a much bigger conversation about cofactors How nutritional deficiencies and imbalances may influence psychiatric symptoms Why individual biology matters when choosing supplements How food, minerals, sunlight, lifestyle, and supplementation fit together Why the supplement industry can encourage people to keep adding products without understanding the underlying physiology How to think more critically before starting your next supplement Bryce Hanna is a master herbalist, independent biochemistry and nutrition researcher, and consultant whose work focuses on foundational nutrition, herbalism, human physiology, and the biochemical relationships between nutrients. Through Multiflora Herbs, his research, consultations, articles, and educational content, Bryce encourages people to understand why something works rather than simply following another supplement protocol. This conversation is not about claiming supplements are bad. It is about recognizing that human biochemistry is complicated—and that taking the right nutrient, in the wrong form, dose, combination, or context may produce a very different result than you expected. The goal is not to take more. The goal is to understand what your body actually needs. \---------- JOIN OUR SKOOL COMMUNITY: skool.com/holisticdynasty/about **Check Out Bryce's Links:** → **Bryce's Website / Multiflora Herbs:** https://www.multiflora-herbs.com/ → **Work With Bryce / Health & Lifestyle Consultations:** https://www.multiflora-herbs.com/products/health-lifestyle-consultation-1-2-hour-phone-or-video-call → **Bryce on X:** https://x.com/photobiogenesis → **Bryce on Patreon:** https://www.patreon.com/photobiogenesis → **Multiflora Herbs on Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/multifloraherbs/ —————— **SPONSORS** Check out high quality red light therapy devices from EMRtek: https://www.emr-tek.com/discount/DRADIO10 (Use Code RMB20 for 35% off) Stay grounded with Rhizal Shoes: https://rhizal.co/ (Use Code DRADIO for 10% off) Get The First Blue Light Free Computer at: https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/RMB50 Protect Your Home With EMF Safe: https://liveemfsafe.com/ (Get 10% off all products with code “DRadio10”) Support under-funded research + learn to mitigate EMF’s In My NEW EMF-101 Course: decentralizedhealth.io (Use KRUSE10 at checkout) Ancient Health and Healing Skin Care: https://ancient-healings.com/?ref=copulbsw (Code DRADIO10 for 10% off) Our Favorite Light Devices from Get Chroma: https://getchroma.co/ (Use RMB10 for 10% off) —————— Email us at [**holisticdynastypod@gmail.com**](mailto:holisticdynastypod@gmail.com) for any feedback, guest recommendations, partnerships, and anything else!
