    How One Diet Silenced Bipolar Chaos – TFP #023 | Robyn Dobbins Feb 20, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, what happens when a midlife dietary change collides with decades of diagnosis, stigma, and trial-and-error? Guest Robyn Dobbins (lived-experience advocate, podcast host, health coach, and community coordinator at the nonprofit Metabolic Collective) makes the case for why personal narratives matter in metabolic mental-health advocacy—covering early symptoms, postpartum struggles, routines and relationships, low-carb/keto tradeoffs, community building, and how cholesterol conversations show up along the way.

    The Blood Test Prep Detail Most People Miss – TFP #022 | Jenny Mitich Feb 12, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, what happens when a personal health experiment turns into a public-facing education project? Guest makes the case for practical, data-minded self-tracking while navigating online narratives and everyday constraints. Dave and Jenny Mitich (nutrition educator and author of *The Complete Carnivore*) discuss glucose monitoring, protein-to-fat adjustments, testing prep, content creation, parenting and culture, and why incentives and data collection methods shape what people think they “know.”

    The Criticism of Keto-CTA—and What the Data Actually Show – TFP #021 | Greg Mushen Feb 02, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, Greg Mushen, a longtime technology and product leader turned independent health researcher, makes the case that disciplined thinking from Silicon Valley can meaningfully inform nutrition and metabolic health. The discussion also directly engages with debates raised by the Keto-CTA study, using it as a case example to examine data transparency, scientific criticism, and decision-making under uncertainty—alongside metabolic testing innovation, walking versus high-intensity exercise, protein prioritization, and Greg’s own body recomposition—through a skeptical, analytical lens.

    He Was 52 Before Learning This About Carbs – TFP #020 | Doug Reynolds Jan 19, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, a core question hangs over the conversation: how did so many clinicians and patients miss low-carb interventions for so long? Dave sits down with Doug Reynolds, founder of Low Carb USA and president of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners, as the guest makes the case for carbohydrate reduction in chronic disease, practitioner education gaps, cultural food traditions, patient-driven change, conference-based knowledge sharing, and why engineers often follow data over authority.

    Cholesterol Debate: What Would Falsify the Lipid Hypothesis? – TFP #019 | Josh Wageman PhD Jan 08, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, a provocative question anchors the conversation: how much of cardiovascular risk is about cholesterol itself versus the context it operates in? Guest **Josh Wageman, DPT, PA-C, PhD**—a clinical lipid specialist and researcher—makes the case for using metaphor, metabolic health, and imaging to think differently about risk. The discussion spans coronary calcium scoring, lipid particles, insulin and inflammation, endurance training extremes, neurodegeneration, and why communicating science clearly actually matters.

    Exposing Broken Science: How Pharma & Food Industry Keep Us Sick – TFP #017 | Emily Kaplan Dec 22, 2025
    Show notes

    In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, Dave asks a blunt question: is modern medicine structurally aligned against prevention? Guest **Emily Kaplan**, investigative science journalist and co-founder of the Broken Science Initiative, makes the case that incentives, not evidence, increasingly shape medical practice. They discuss conflicts of interest in research, the reproducibility crisis, metabolic health and lifestyle medicine, GLP-1 drugs, nutrition education gaps, and why outcomes often matter less than headlines.

    Lactic Acidosis, Black Mold & B1: What If It's All Connected? – TFP #014 | Darren Schmidt Dec 05, 2025
    Show notes

    In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, what if a single overlooked nutrient could meaningfully alter how we think about chronic illness? Guest Dr. Darren Schmidt (DC, nutrition-focused clinician) makes the case for the role of B1 deficiency, discusses environmental toxic exposures, explores mitochondrial dysfunction, and examines lactic acidosis as a framework for understanding complex disease patterns. We also discuss metabolic pathways, autonomic issues, and how clinical observations can challenge conventional assumptions.
