Hereditary Cancer Syndromes and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
New review challenges the genetic-only model of inherited cancer risk
Co-authored by BSI’s Bob Kaplan, this review examines hereditary cancer syndromes through a metabolic lens, arguing that inherited gene mutations increase cancer risk primarily by impairing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation rather than acting as direct genetic causes. Surveying more than a dozen well-characterized syndromes, the authors show that none are fully penetrant and that nearly all are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and a shift toward substrate-level phosphorylation—core features of the mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer.

The Feldman Protocol Podcast
Emily Kaplan joins Dave Feldman to discuss the blunt question: is modern medicine structurally aligned against prevention? Emily makes the case that incentives, not evidence, increasingly shape medical practice. They discuss conflicts of interest in research, the reproducibility crisis, metabolic health and lifestyle medicine, GLP-1 drugs, nutrition education gaps, and why outcomes often matter less than headlines.

Soybean Oil, Oxylipins, and Obesity: Why Fat Type Matters
Mouse study links linoleic acid metabolism—not calories—to diet-induced obesity
This Journal of Lipid Research study tests whether obesity risk depends on the type of fat consumed rather than calories alone. Mice fed isocaloric diets high in soybean oil (rich in linoleic acid) gained significantly more weight and developed fatty liver and glucose intolerance compared with mice fed coconut oil–based diets.

Ultra-Processed Food and Mental Health
With David Wiss
Dr. David Wiss, a mental health scientist and nutritionist, discusses the relationship between nutrition, addiction, and mental health, with a focus on ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and depression. His work considers complex neurobiological, hormonal, and emotional factors, and his research suggests a link between increased UPF consumption and a higher risk of depression. He challenges the simple “calories in, calories out” model, and encourages a shift from quantitative nutrition (like counting calories) to a qualitative approach, emphasizing qualitative outcomes such as mood, outlook, and sleep. His core message is that people should eat real food, include a varied diet rich in plant colors and fiber, and address nutrient deficiencies and associated biological issues before making new psychiatric diagnoses.

In this 2009 conversation, Coach Greg Glassman suggests that isolating muscles in training, such as through machine-based movements like leg extensions and leg curls, is a “false reductionism” that causes people to “lose the essence of the damn thing”.
