Like many athletes, she followed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/complete-guide-getting-your-body-competition-ready\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the classic prep formula<\/a> of strict meal plans, hardcore calorie deficits, strength and cardio on repeat.<\/p>\n<p>It all worked\u2014until it didn\u2019t. \u201cIt kept me very dialed in while studying,\u201d she remembers. But after her last competition, she says almost immediately, she gained about 40 pounds and her cycles became abnormal. \u201cI was tired all the time,\u201d she recalls her frustration. \u201cI could nap at the drop of a dime. [At that time] I was just in a really rough state and nothing that I was doing was working.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She got caught in a rebound spiral that might be familiar to industry veterans. She doubled down, cut more calories, pushed harder in the gym, and upped her cardio. But none of it helped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt actually made things worse,\u201d she says. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until I started eating more that I started healing. I had to actually \u2018undiet\u2019 myself. I was able to re-regulate my cycle, and went on to have three children.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:55.36519386835%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stem-Cell-Doctor-Sabrina-Solt-in-the-gym-holding-a-medicine-ball.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" alt=\"Stem Cell Doctor Sabrina Solt in the gym holding a medicine ball\" width=\"1109\" height=\"614\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stem-Cell-Doctor-Sabrina-Solt-in-the-gym-holding-a-medicine-ball.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Yasmine Carmen Photography<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How to Avoid The Mistakes Sabrina Solt Made<\/h2>\n<p>Her advice to today\u2019s competitors, especially for women, is to stop prepping like it\u2019s still 1990.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I was going to do it again, I would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/nutrition\/gain-mass\/top-20-meat-proteins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">focus more on red meat over chicken and fish<\/a>,\u201d she says. \u201cFour ounces of steak gives you more nutrients than four ounces of tilapia. I was severely undernourished for a significant amount of time. That\u2019s what wrecked me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s unapologetic about what works for her now, which is a mainly carnivore approach that healed two decades of irritable bowel syndrome, cleared her skin, and balanced her hormones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the plants we eat are loaded with anti-nutrients, like oxalates, lectins, phytic acid, that were destroying me,\u201d she explains. \u201cOnce I eliminated them, within six months, all those issues went away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, she\u2019s not dogmatic. She\u2019ll have fruit. She\u2019ll enjoy a bite of dessert. But everything she eats now is aligned with one question: Will this set me up for a successful day?<\/p>\n<p>Today, Dr. Solt trains three to five days a week, on and off with a trainer, mostly strength training with cardio in the form of interval training. \u201cI work out because it makes me a better mom, a better doctor, a better person,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s also raising three children, while at the same time running a regenerative medicine clinic. Successfully juggling a full schedule requires Solt to actively protect her energy with tools like red light therapy, peptides, and what she calls her ultimate secret weapon: saying no.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a recovering people pleaser,\u201d she admits. \u201cBut I had to get clear on my values and priorities. Otherwise, I\u2019d spread myself too thin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sleep is her non-negotiable. \u201cI make sure I can get at least seven hours a night, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When she needs extra recovery, she reaches for BPC-157, an orally available peptide known for speeding up healing. \u201cA few weeks ago, I tweaked my rotator cuff lifting. I took BPC-157 and it was gone in a couple days,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>That personal transformation is part of why she was featured in the soon-streaming Amazon documentary <em>sHEALed,<\/em> the follow-up to the five-part Biohack Yourself documentary series.<\/p>\n<p>The film puts women at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/anti-aging\/wellness\/10-biohacking-trends-for-2026-you-should-be-watching-for-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">center of the biohacking movement<\/a> and explores the evolving tools in longevity, hormone health, regenerative medicine, and strength-building beyond aesthetics. \u201cI was honored to contribute,\u201d she says. She shared her work on stem cells, hormone therapy, and peptides, but also the bigger picture of helping women understand how to take ownership of their health.<\/p>\n<h2>Using Stem Cells for Recovery and Longevity<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Solt now helps athletes and everyday people heal faster and smarter through regenerative medicine at her clinic in Scottsdale, AZ.<\/p>\n<p>She specializes in stem cell treatments, and she\u2019s quick to bust the myth that you need to leave the country to access legitimate therapies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can get stem cells in the United States,\u201d she says, noting that true stem cell treatments use your own cells. She most frequently uses adipose-derived stem cells, where they take the patient\u2019s fat through a minor liposuction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe amount of fat that we take is usually equivalent to one or two sticks of butter,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<p>She underscores that post-treatment recovery is critical. \u201cThe first week after a stem cell procedure, you\u2019re in a purposeful inflammation phase,\u201d she says. \u201cYou want to rest and let the body focus on healing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why is that so? She explains that the body always wants to go after the most acute thing because it sees that as a threat. For example, she notes, \u201cif we treated your knees but then you go out and do a really intense back workout, now you\u2019ve caused purposeful trauma in that area and your body\u2019s going to reshuttle resources over there, redirecting those freshly injected stem cells to recover the acute stressor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prep is just as important too. She often stacks protocols with peptides, hormone optimization, and lifestyle recommendations to effectively prepare patients for stem cells and help that maximize recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Solt also uses stem cells preventatively on herself. She\u2019ll inject them a couple of times a year to stay ahead of old injuries and maintain longevity.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:55.36519386835%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stem-Cell-Doctor-Sabrina-Solt-squatting-in-front-of-the-mirror.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" alt=\"Stem Cell Doctor Sabrina Solt squatting in front of the mirror\" width=\"1109\" height=\"614\" data-fallback-img=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Stem-Cell-Doctor-Sabrina-Solt-squatting-in-front-of-the-mirror.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Yasmine Carmen Photography<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Redefining Strength: From Stage to Self<\/h2>\n<p>For Dr. Solt, strength has meant different things in her life throughout the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt strong when I passed my medical boards.
