Nutrient Deficiency Testing (Review & Tips) • Dr Chris Masterjohn, PhD

Author: Gary Kirwan April 25, 2019 Duration: 53:10

Nutritional scientist, Dr Chris Masterjohn, PhD, is today’s guest interview. Chris shares with us the best ways to start assessing your nutrient status and how he came up with a cheat sheet - Testing Nutritional Status: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet to help guide us in understanding the blood test numbers. He explains what current lab tests and RDA’s tell us and why they aren't always the best indicator of nutrient status for vitamins and minerals. We then find out about depletion/repletion studies and the problem with a general lack of data. We also go into discussing other key information in determining deficiencies such as diet, lifestyle, genetics and general signs and symptoms as well as tips on before and after testing, food vs supplements and low-carb/keto diets.

In BioHackers Lab: Health Show for How to Live Your Best Life, host Gary Kirwan guides conversations that move beyond generic wellness advice. This podcast operates on the principle that effective health strategies are deeply personal; what works for one person's gut, mind, or body might not work for another. Each episode delves into practical, often nuanced, approaches to customising your lifestyle, drawing on global perspectives from individuals pioneering interesting methods to improve health. Discussions naturally explore a wide spectrum, from the roles of specific diets and supplements to the integration of purposeful exercise and recovery techniques. The aim is to provide listeners with a diverse toolkit of ideas and experiences, empowering them to experiment and find what truly optimises their own unique system. Tuning into this podcast is an invitation to a continuous, personal experiment-a process of biohacking your way toward a more vibrant and resilient version of yourself. It’s about parsing the noise, understanding the underlying mechanisms of your wellbeing, and making incremental, sustainable changes that compound into a significantly better quality of life.
