#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

Bullish:

• $KELP - Kelp powder is recommended as a personal iodine fortification strategy, with Chris adding a quarter teaspoon daily to his meals as an alternative to government fortification programs

  • “I personally add in a quarter teaspoon of kelp powder to my food prepped meals per day... I fortify my food myself instead of letting the government do it.”

• $CREATINE - Creatine supplementation is recommended for anyone not consuming one to two pounds of meat daily, based on its role in energy distribution and cognitive function benefits

  • “I think that everyone who's not eating one or two pounds of meat per day should probably be taking creatine.”

    Chris·29:49
• $SEAFOOD - Seafood is promoted as a reliable source of iodine due to mineral accumulation in oceans, with recommendations for weekly fish or daily seaweed consumption

  • “Seafood is reliably high in iodine because the rainfall just facilitates the minerals just falling into the ocean.”

    Chris·2:09:19
• $NATTO - Nattokinase supplementation at specific doses may help prevent cardiovascular events by enhancing the body's ability to break down blood clots

  • “Having taken nine two thousand IU of nattokinase that day may have prevented you from getting a heart attack or stroke because the clot formed and you degraded it more quickly.”

    Chris·2:28:12
• $OLIVEOIL - Olive oil is presented as a safer middle ground between saturated fats and seed oils, less likely to create tissue damage that drives arterial plaque formation

  • “olive oil is this happy middle ground where maybe we can consume a lot of... it's not going to create the tissue damage that drives the plaque”

Bearish:

• $STATINS - Statins are criticized as mitochondrial toxins that inhibit CoQ10 synthesis and damage mitochondrial function, with advocacy for mitochondrial optimization before pharmaceutical intervention

  • “Statins are mitochondrial toxins, they're kind of counterproductive from a mitochondrial energy production standpoint.”

    Chris·2:06:15
• $SEEDOILS - Seed oils are identified as causing atherosclerotic damage by making tissues vulnerable to oxidation, with the immune system creating plaque to quarantine the damaged particles

  • “The plaque is actually the immune system quarantining damaged particles. Those particles are damaged because you loaded them with seed oils and then your mitochondrial function declined, and you lost your defense against the damage.”
