533: Biohacking Gone Wrong: Why Everything You're Doing to Optimize Your Health Might Be Backfiring with Dr. Sabrina Solt
Description
What if the supplements you've been taking to feel better are actually the reason you feel worse?
That's exactly what happened to me, and it sent me down a rabbit hole that led to one of the most important conversations I've had about my own health. Today I'm sitting down with my close friend and personal doctor, Dr. Sabrina Solt, a regenerative medicine physician and peptide expert who has been in this field for over a decade.
We start with the question that started everything for me: why was I wired at 3am, crashing every afternoon, and reacting to the exact supplements I thought were helping? Dr. Solt breaks down the cortisol-prolactin connection that most doctors never test for, explains why elevated cholesterol in midlife women is often a protective response rather than a red flag, and walks us through the inflammation markers that actually tell the full story of what's happening inside the body.
Then we go deep on what she calls the upstream-downstream problem, the real reason why things like methylated B vitamins, NAD drips, and glutathione pushes can backfire so badly in certain women, and what to do instead. She explains the genetic piece around MTHFR and COMT variations, why "more" is rarely the answer, and what supporting downstream clearance actually looks like in practice.
From there, we get into peptides. Dr. Solt gives a grounded, clinical breakdown of BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, the copper peptide GHKCU, growth hormone releasing peptides, and the serious cautions around GLP microdosing gone wrong. She also shares her vision for what medicine could look like if doctors were equally fluent in peptides and pharmaceuticals.
This is the conversation I've been wanting to bring to you for a long time. Dr. Sabrina Solt is one of the most precise and brilliant minds I know, and she does not hold back.
WE GO DEEP ON:
-
The cortisol-prolactin connection most doctors never test
-
Why high cholesterol isn't always the villain (and what MPO reveals)
-
The upstream-downstream mistake making "healthy" habits backfire
-
Why NAD and glutathione drips can be dangerous for some people
-
A no-BS peptide breakdown: BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, copper peptides, and more
-
The truth about GLP microdosing and its risks
-
What to fix before you ever try a peptide
