Chris Masterjohn PhD – Seed Oils, LDL & Mitochondria | TFP #035

About this episode

Dave Feldman interviews Chris Masterjohn about mitochondrial energy metabolism and its implications for health and nutrition.

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. 🔥 This episode is sponsored by us -- Own Your Labs 👉 `https://ownyourlabs.com/sp/35` Private blood testing services 🩸Over 300 blood tests 💰Extremely affordable ❤️ We love our customers (Yes, we are literally funding the entire podcast from our own company -- so if you want to show your support, keep getting your private blood testing through our service.
