I Tried It So You Don't Have To: Biohacks, Fails, and Weird Protocols | SNH Podcast #122

Author: Health Optimization Medicine and Practice May 7, 2025 Duration: 40:58

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, we dive into the outrageous, unexpected, and sometimes uncomfortable experiments our hosts have tried in the name of health optimization.

From gallbladder flushes and vitamin D megadosing to powerlifting with a colonic and hiking mountains while microdosing, this episode is full of real (and ridiculous) stories. Boomer Anderson, Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Ted Achacoso, Jodi Duval, and Dr. Allen Bookatz share the protocols they've tested so you don't have to — and what they actually learned from pushing the limits.

Join us as we delve into:

  • Gallbladder cleanses, colonics, and detox stories gone wrong
  • High-altitude hypoxia and the limits of willpower
  • Hormone overloads, supplement misadventures, and questionable decisions
  • What happens when doctors test their own advice

This episode is for you if:

  • You've ever wondered what not to do in the name of health
  • You enjoy honest, hilarious stories from doctors and experts who walk the talk
  • You're curious about the weirder side of biohacking
  • You want to laugh while learning what actually works (and what definitely doesn't)
