Do you love health and wellness so much that you just want to read everything you can about it, but often find yourself understanding only half (or even less) of what you read? 

Do you need to learn biochemistry for school but wish you could learn the material in a more relevant, lively, or entertaining way?  Do you already have a good foundation, but want a unique out-of-the-box perspective synthesized from a deep dive into the scientific literature? 

If so, today's podcast is for you. My guest is Dr. Chris Masterjohn, former podcast guest from the episode "Why Sugar Isn’t As Dangerous As You Might Think, How Your Genetics Affect Your Sleep, Liver Toxicity & More With Dr. Chris Masterjohn." Chris earned his PhD in Nutritional Sciences in 2012 from the University of Connecticut at Storrs, served as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 2012 to 2014, and served as Assistant Professor of Health and Nutrition Sciences at Brooklyn College from 2014 to 2016. He now works independently in health and nutrition research, education, and consulting. Chris has authored or co-authored ten peer-reviewed publications. His podcast, Mastering Nutrition, his two video series, Chris Masterjohn Lite and Masterclass With Masterjohn, and his blog can all be found on his web site at chrismasterjohnphd.com. You can also find him on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Snapchat, where his username is @chrismasterjohn.

In today's podcast, we take a deep dive into Chris's brand new program entitled "Masterclass With Masterjohn Pro: Energy Metabolism", and you'll discover:

-A missing nutrient that you must take in if you are on a high protein diet...[60:45]
