Episode 40: Do Vitamin Patches Actually Work? What Happens When Vitamins Bypass the Gut

You may be taking the right vitamins, but are you actually absorbing them?

In this episode of The Biohacked Method, I answer one of the questions I hear most: do vitamin patches actually work, or are they another wellness gimmick? I share what I observed while working with women whose supplement routines were extensive but whose labs still showed deficiencies, then break down first-pass metabolism and why the digestive route can affect how oral supplements are used by the body.

I also explain how transdermal delivery works differently, why the skin is used for established patch-based delivery methods, and what I looked for when developing The Patch Method. You will leave with a clearer way to think about absorption, pill fatigue, supplement overlap, and how to audit your own routine without adding another complicated step.

Lindsey Burwell, I'm a certified holistic health practitioner, clinical lab specialist, and metabolic optimization expert, and the founder of The Patch Method, a transdermal biohacking brand redesigning how women support their health without relying on pills and supplements. I also co-founded The Metabolism Lab and The Metabolic Scan, tools I use to help clients identify and address the hidden root causes behind fatigue, hormone imbalance, and poor absorption.

My work is rooted in my own health journey. After years of struggling with gut issues and inflammation despite normal lab results, I turned to functional labs, peptide protocols, and cellular-level healing to find real answers, an approach I've spent over a decade refining with my clients. Today, I specialize in helping high-performing women reset their metabolism, detox at the cellular level, and move out of survival mode into deeper energy and vitality.
