Joe Rogan Experience #2420 - Chris Masterjohn

I have Crohn’s my entire small intestine was removed and I was told I had a rather short life expectancy. I negated all medical advice after that point refused medication and went carnivore. I run faster , lift more, and look younger than I did a decade ago. When I am in extreme distress I go liquid then clear liquid if I must. I vitamin load and test my blood. The vitamins I take are Niacin, A,D,B12-B6-Iron-vitamin C- 6 lions mane fish oil and vitamin en and biotin. I have doubled my current life expectancy I share these details only because I am the current record holder for living without a small intestine which will be officiated upon my death. Good luck, never give up never surrender.

Holy shit, I had to do a double take when I saw Chris Masterjohn’s name on JRE. I’m glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves.

Anytime we don’t get a stupid comedian or Mike Baker is a great day 🙌

I feel like Chris Masterjohn is one of the few nutrition researchers who still treats biochem as a discipline and not a marketing tool. You may not agree with him on everything, but he’s one of the last genuinely independent analysts left in a field dominated by groupthink.

The master of all Johns

You know its good when Joe actually lets his guest talk😂😂😂

This is one of those episodes where I wished it was 3+ hours long.

Masterjohn needs to be a regular guest. I was learning so much, had to take notes lol. Very good episode, thank you Joe and thank you Chris!

I am so greatful, Chris was my nutrition professor a decade plus ago. In my classes I constantly bring his name up for my students
