About this episode
In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, Dave asks: what happens when a fertility specialist-turned-health thinker questions nutrition narrative? Guest Robert Kiltz, MD, makes the case for animal-based diets, metabolic flexibility, mindset, faith and medicine, clinical experience vs. guidelines, and the role of community. The conversation ranges from physiology and lipid metabolism to entrepreneurship, skepticism, and personal practice — always with an eye toward evidence and open inquiry.?
