Podcast Ep. 7 Drs. Tro Kalayjian, Brian Lenzkes, Joshua Durham—How to Save Medicine, One Practice at a Time—with Dr. Brian Kerley
Well, it's been a while.
By coincidence, episode 7 again features my physician, Dr. Joshua Durham, but this time we are honored to include Drs Tro Kalayjian and Brian Lenzkes. These two physicians have both successfully incorporated dietary therapy into their practices to help their patients overcome metabolic dysfunction.
Josh is in the beginning of this process, and that was the impetus for this discussion: how to do it.
We all figured a conversation like this would be of interest to other physicians, but I also wanted to make sure we discussed what this meant to patients.
I learned a lot, Josh learned a lot, and some of it was frankly quite surprising to me. Tro and Brian are doing great work.
Hopefully this goes a way towards rectifying this oversight from a few years back:
Probably should have recorded it. Would have made a great podcast. We could have called it “Nutrition Heretics Riding in Cars”

Interview: "How Seed Oils Oxidise Cardiolipin and Damage Your Mitochondria" with Max Gulane MD on the Regenerative Health Podcast
We spoke once before (below) and Max had some follow-up questions, which led to this interesting discussion.
In going through it to to put together the show notes, I found myself thinking that I sounded like Ray Peat, with a dense, frankly difficult-to-follow narrative style.
Yes, it's all backed by solid evidence, but it can be tough to follow, and as I commented to Max after it was finished, getting all the references was going to be a chore. It was, and I didn't attempt to track them all down.
So if you have questions, post them below.
RHP #30: "How seed oils oxidise cardiolipin and damage your mitochondriaHow seed oils oxidise cardiolipin and damage your mitochondria""Tucker Goodrich and I explore sub-cellular mechanisms by which seed oils are damaging your health. We cover mitochondrial bio-energetic aetiology of disease, linoleic acid and oxidation of mitochondrial cardiolipin, how seed oils contribute to visceral fat, Tucker’s opinion on Dr Jack Kruse’s work and much, much more.
"This is quite a technical discussion with emphasis on the exact mechanisms of see oil harm. If you’re just learning about how seed oils damage health, I suggest listening to my first podcast with Tucker (RHP #12) for an introduction.
"Tucker is a financial risk analyst, self-taught engineer and citizen scientist who is a world expert in the the biochemistry of seed oils and their impact on human health.
RHP #12: "Toxic harm of seed oils, linoleic acid and lipid peroxidation products"
"Tucker Goodrich joins me to discuss seed oils, linoleic acid, 4-HNE, toxic breakdown products of linoleic acid, the evidence implicating seed oils in liver disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer and heart disease and much, much more.
He has a timeline of our discussion at the link above. Scroll down this page for the show notes.
