What Supplements Do Health Experts Actually Take (and What Got Weird) | SNH Podcast #124

Author: Health Optimization Medicine and Practice May 21, 2025 Duration: 38:05

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, the Troscriptions and HOMeHOPe faculty get personal. Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Ted Achacoso, and Jodi Duval go behind the curtain on what they're actually taking, testing, and tossing when it comes to supplements.

From methylene blue pessaries to kratom gummies, designer peptides to custom troches—this roundtable reveals how experienced clinicians approach their own protocols, and the often messy process of self-experimentation.

Join us as we delve into:

  • The real story behind what's in their supplement drawers
  • How the team thinks about sourcing, stacking, and individual response
  • Why clinical integrity requires "I tried it first" energy
  • How experiments sometimes fail—and why that matters

This episode is for you if:

  • You want to see how the experts actually apply what they preach
  • You're supplement curious and tired of cookie-cutter stacks
  • You're interested in self-experimentation with clinical guardrails
  • You like your protocols with a side of honesty and humor
