Dr. Sabrina Solt is on a mission to help women live their best lives. A naturopathic doctor and regenerative medicine expert, she’s one of the featured voices in the upcoming Amazon Prime documentary sHEALed—a follow-up to ‘Biohack Yourself’ – and she’s not afraid to challenge the status quo.
“I feel like a lot of people are starting to get really disillusioned with the whole medical system right now and how they’re just being given medications, surgeries, versus looking at the root cause of things,” Dr. Solt says. “Biohacking is really just a trendy name for root cause healing.”
In sHEALed, Dr. Solt zeroes in on the regenerative treatments she uses with patients every day: stem cells, peptides, and hormones. “I talked a lot about stem cell therapy. I talked a lot about hormones and peptides,” she says.
Dr. Solt has spent a decade in the stem cell space and says the biggest obstacle is public misunderstanding. “You can get real stem cell therapy here in the United States. It is legal, and you don’t have to go outside the country for it. And oftentimes it can even be more affordable,” she notes.
From autoimmune issues to anti-aging, Dr. Solt says stem cells can be injected directly into joints or administered via IV, where they act as a homing beacon to areas of inflammation. “I’ve seen people improve their eyesight, grow hair back, even get back the ability to eat spicy food,” she says.
According to Dr. Solt, patients can bank stem cells through a minor liposuction procedure that can deliver enough for up to 20 years of bi-annual treatments. The cost? About $2,500 for the initial banking.
If that’s not futuristic enough for you, Dr. Solt regularly uses peptides to create “dramatic changes in people,” she says, especially BPC-157, her go-to for joint pain and gut issues like IBS.
Available online and taken daily, BPC-157 typically begins to work within a few months. Other options include Rapid Rebound, which targets pain and fat loss, and sermorelin, a prescription peptide that boosts growth hormone and supports energy, fat loss, and skin texture. “A lot of my patients will opt for the lozenge version because they don’t want to inject themselves,” she adds.
One core part of her practice [that arguably shouldn’t be next-gen at this stage] is hormone therapy. She’s a firm believer in bioidentical hormone replacement — especially for women battling chronic stress or transitioning through perimenopause or menopause– and quick to point out the flaws in the decades-old study that needlessly scared many women off HRT.
“That study was done on synthetic hormones… basically horse urine,” she says of the infamous Women’s Health Initiative. “It’s not valid for bioidentical hormones.”
She treats many women with hormone imbalances triggered by chronic stress, not just menopause. “They’re the mom. They work. They’re the wife, the friend… and eventually their hormones start to crash. They get weight gain, brain fog, hair loss, it’s just this complete downward spiral.”
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone each play a critical role. “Progesterone deficiency can definitely cause sleep issues. Low testosterone can show up as lack of motivation, low libido, even depression and anxiety,” she says.
Despite full access to the latest and greatest in regenerative medicine, Dr. Solt still says one of the most overlooked health hacks doesn’t come in a syringe or bottle. “Divorce has been the biggest biohack,” she shares candidly. “I am the happiest, the healthiest, and the best shape that I’ve ever been after getting out of being in such a chronic stress situation.”
Her message to women is simple: choose yourself. “There’s a pandemic of women who are just not choosing themselves. And they’re suffering for it. I see that a lot.”
Dr. Solt offers telehealth consultations to patients in Arizona and California and accepts out-of-state clients for in-office visits. More information is available stemcelltherapyprepro.com.
