What if the drawer full of supplements you have been faithfully taking every morning is actually making your liver work harder without making you feel any better?
If you have ever walked out of a functional medicine or naturopathic appointment with a list of twelve supplements, spent hundreds of dollars filling that order, and then showed up to your next appointment still deficient in the very things you were supplementing, you are not alone. And according to Lindsey Burwell, founder of The Patch Method, you are also not the problem.
Lindsey was one of my most talked-about guests ever, and she is back for part two because your questions did not stop after our first conversation. Today we go even deeper into why swallowing supplements is often a losing game for midlife women, and what transdermal delivery actually does differently at a physiological level.
We cover the science of first-pass metabolism and why your liver, already under enormous strain from modern life, is simply not prioritizing breaking down your vitamin C. We talk about what "pill fatigue" really is and why it is only getting louder. And we get into the specific patches Lindsey has developed, including the detox patch, the cortisol fix, the menopause patch, and the one I have been waiting to try: the GHKCU copper peptide glow patch, which has serious research behind it for skin regeneration, hair growth, and cellular repair.
I also finally get Lindsey to walk me through why the injectable version of that copper peptide causes that intense, all-day throbbing sensation, and why the transdermal version sidesteps that entirely. Spoiler: it comes back to dose.
If you have MTHFR or a slow COMT and have had bad reactions to methylated B vitamins, Lindsey explains exactly why the patch form does not cause that same stimulant response. We also dig into who should and should not be using these patches, how to stack them, and why you do not have to give up the supplements that are already working for you.
This is one of those episodes that makes you want to go audit your entire supplement cabinet.
