Why a 575-Pound Man Had Perfect Metabolic Labs – Craig Emmerich
In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, can individual biology shape whether a given diet or protocol actually works — or does one approach fit everyone? Craig Emmerich (co-author and nutrition researcher alongside Maria Emmerich) makes the case for bioindividuality in metabolic health, discussing his decade-long journey with chronic Lyme disease and ankylosing spondylitis, the protein-sparing modified fast as a weight-loss tool, a fat-cell–centric view of insulin resistance, oxidative priority of fuel sources, and whether AI may reshape personalized medicine. 📎 Mentioned in this episode: • 23:34 – Craig & Maria Emmerich — The Art of Metabolic Health (book): `https://www.amazon.com/Art-Metabolic-Health-METABOLIC-RESILIENCE/dp/B0GWWK9HLC` • 1:46:03 – Craig & Maria Emmerich — Carnivore Cookbook (book): `https://www.victorybelt.com/the-carnivore-cookbook` • 1:48:59 – Podcast episode: Craig Emmerich on Judy Cho's podcast: `https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nutrition-with-judy-carnivore-diet/id1529951307` • 2:32:25 – Maria Emmerich — ketomaria.com (books, blog, social media hub): `https://ketomaria.com/` 🔥 This episode is sponsored by us -- Own Your Labs 👉 `https://ownyourlabs.com/sp/` 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.

Zachary DiMattia and Dave Feldman Debate LDL, Keto-CTA and Lean Mass Hyper-Responders
In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, what does emerging research actually reveal about cardiovascular risk in people who develop extreme LDL elevations on ketogenic diets — and how much remains genuinely unresolved? Zachary DiMattia (nutritional scientist, Penn State) joins Dave to discuss his published review on ketogenic diet–induced LDL elevations in normal-weight adults, presents preliminary findings from his controlled feeding study comparing low- and high-BMI responses to a ketogenic diet, and engages Dave in a frank debate over plaque progression data, the lipid hypothesis, and the novel regressor findings from the Keto-CTA cohort.🔥 This episode is sponsored by us --Own Your Labs 👉 `https://ownyourlabs.com/sp/54` 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.

Arthur Agatston (Part 3) on Insulin Resistance, LP(a), and Why He Went Militantly Keto
In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, how does metabolic health shape cardiovascular risk — and does the conventional focus on individual biomarkers miss the bigger picture? Dave Feldman sits down with cardiologist Arthur Agatston (MD), creator of the South Beach Diet and the coronary calcium score, to explore blood pressure guideline debates, insulin resistance and preeclampsia, the origins of the South Beach Diet, LP(a) and plaque progression in lean mass hyper-responders, HDL dysfunction, and the lipid energy model's structural hypothesis.🔥 This episode is sponsored by us --Own Your Labs 👉 `https://ownyourlabs.com/sp/52` 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.
