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

    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. 🔥 This episode is sponsored by us -- Own Your Labs 👉 https://ownyourlabs.com/sp/21 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.
