Smarter Not Harder podcast: health optimization
In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Ted Achacoso, Dr. Jup Kuipers, Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Allen Bookatz, Jodi Duval, and Boomer Anderson come together for a HOMeHOPe Faculty roundtable exploring the beliefs they held about health and medicine a decade ago — and what they've learned since. With a mix of personal anecdotes, clinical shifts, and humorous hindsight, the team unpacks how science, biohacking, and real-world experience have reshaped their perspectives.
In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Boomer Anderson sits down with Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Ted Achacoso, Jodi Duval, and Dr. Allen Bookatz to explore how syncing your biology with circadian rhythms may be more powerful than any 3-day fast. From defining ultradian and infradian rhythms to tackling jet lag, hormone timing, and shift work, the team shares clinical stories and practical tactics you can use to reset your internal clock and optimize recovery, metabolism, and mood.
In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Boomer Anderson sits down with Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Ted Achacoso, Dr. Jup Kuipers, and Dr. Allen Bookatz to unpack the shift from “sick-care” to genuine health-care. Drawing on stories from primary care, the ER, and longevity practice, they explain how the Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) model uses metabolomics, gut testing, and evolutionary biology to keep you thriving — long before disease strikes.
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.
In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Scott Sherr takes us on a solo deep dive into the myths, history, physiology, and media controversies surrounding methylene blue. From Blue Brains headlines to Huberman posts and clinical dosing strategies, Scott sets the record straight and unpacks why this molecule has become a lightning rod in health optimization conversations.
In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, we discuss the evolving landscape of Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMeHOPe), including new modules on epigenetics, expanded research on exposomics, and advancements in AI technology. We delve into the rise of longevity clinics, the sober curious movement, and the growing use of AI in medical practices. Key highlights feature discussions on personalized medicine, the integration of AI for scalable practices, and the future of health and wellness trends in 2025.
