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

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Abid Husain joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a masterclass on cardiovascular health—from cholesterol myths to mitochondrial truth. They explore what truly drives inflammation, plaque formation, and cardiovascular risk, while dismantling the outdated “cholesterol = heart disease” narrative.

Whether you're a clinician or simply someone trying to make smarter choices for your heart, this episode offers insight into testing, interventions, and personalized strategies that go beyond basic lipid panels.

Join us as we delve into:
+ Why LDL alone doesn’t tell the full story of cardiovascular risk
+ How mitochondria, hormones, and inflammation intersect with lipid metabolism
+ The real role of CCTA scans, plaque imaging, and particle size analysis
+ Advanced medications and peptides that support vascular and metabolic health

This episode is for you if:
- You’ve been told to fear cholesterol but want the full picture
- You’re a practitioner looking to personalize cardiovascular treatment plans
- You’ve heard of statins and PCSK9s but don’t know when or why to use them
- You’re curious about GLP-1s, NO precursors, and other precision tools for heart health

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)
