Riboflavin for Strange Unresolved Health Problems | Chris Masterjohn Lite # 153

Mastering Nutrition

Got any strange, unresolved health problems? 🤭

High-dose riboflavin might help!

MIGHT. 😬

This episode is a shot in the dark, but covers how high-dose riboflavin could help with a lot of mystery issues.

This episode is brought to you by Vitamins and Minerals 101. This is my new, free, 30-day course that covers the basics of each nutrient, including why it’s important, how to get it from food, how to know if you need more, when you should think about supplementing, and concerns for special diets or special populations. You can get it delivered by Facebook Messenger or email. The Messenger version is taught by Chris Masterbot, my baby bot, is more interactive, and has more jokes and emojis. This requires no background beyond high school and is made for the beginner, but even many experts find it a great refresher and find little golden nuggets in each lesson.

This episode is brought to you by Testing Nutritional Status: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet. I've been through the pain and suffering of embracing a diet because I *thought* it was healthy, only for it to wreck my body and mind. I've been through the path of healing, only to make the mistakes of thinking that what worked best for me would work for everyone, and that what I did to heal would be something I would need to do forever. I've learned the hard way that each of us is unique, and that we all change with time. Your needs are not mine, mine are not what they were ten years ago, and yours won’t be in ten years what they are now. That’s why we need a recipe to know exactly what’s missing, what’s there in excess, and what’s out of balance. It is my mission to empower you to know exactly what your body needs, and to make exactly the right decisions to nourish it.

Ask Me Anything About Nutrition, March 8, 2019 | Mastering Nutrition #65

On March 8, members of the CMJ Masterpass joined me in a live Zoom meeting to ask me anything about nutrition, and here’s the full recording!

We talk about things like:

  • What to do if zinc causes nausea? 
  • When on a ketogenic diet, it is a problem if ketones are going up to 5 to 6 millimoles per liter?
  • What if I'm on a ketogenic diet, and I can't get my ketone levels up higher than 1 millimole per liter when my primary reason for being on the ketogenic diet is that I'm trying to control blood glucose better?
  • Advice for what to do after suffering a transient ischemic attack.
  • Nutrients important for neuroregeneration.
  • What causes sinus congestion, and what can help?
  • Nutrition for children with ADHD.
  • Nutritional recommendations for MTR and MTRR polymorphisms.
  • Why the main problem with hyperglycemia is not glucose but rather advanced glycation end products, and why the main determinant of advanced glycation end products is low insulin signaling.
  • Does the difference between cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, and methylcobalamin matter, and does the difference between sublingual, oral, and intramuscular injection matter?
  • Could fat malabsorption be driven by genetic polymorphisms that lower activity the PEMT enzyme? And could fat malabsorption in general be causing not only mineral deficiencies but also hyperabsorption of oxalate from foods?
  • Why am I always sneezing first thing in the morning?
  • What if I cannot get my ferritin up and supplementing iron actually raises my serum iron well above the normal range?
  • A rant on why many people use “MTHFR” to slap a label on their health problems.

All this and much more!
