O TYM ODCINKU
In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, how much does mitochondrial energy metabolism shape long-term health outcomes — and what does that mean for how we interpret cardiovascular, immune, and metabolic research? Dave sits down with Chris Masterjohn (PhD) to explore his mitochondrial testing company and what enzyme-complex patterns may reveal about individual nutritional needs, his longstanding model of LDL oxidation and plaque formation, the emerging pressure-based hypothesis in Crohn's disease research, concerns he raises about polyunsaturated fatty acids and long-term trial design, and the state of peer review and research transparency.
