Episode Description:
Berberine has a reputation as one of the "safe" supplements — the kind people add without telling their oncologist. But in Part 2 of our berberine deep dive, Dr. Jay Chaplin breaks down a drug interaction that can happen with zero warning signs, plus what the science actually shows about berberine and immunotherapy.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why berberine can block the enzyme that activates tamoxifen
Why this interaction shows up nowhere on a lab report
What the immunotherapy research really found — and its real-world limits
The one thing to tell your oncology team before your next appointment
If you or someone you love is on tamoxifen or immunotherapy, this one's worth five minutes.
