| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Natural State podcast. I'm your host Dr. Anthony Guston. It is my |
| 0:10.4 | belief that the natural state of penny living organisms' health and that our artificial |
| 0:14.4 | habitat has forced us into having artificial health problems. This show is my attempt to |
| 0:18.7 | dive deep and learn about using nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and more to help |
| 0:23.8 | you reclaim your natural state of health in a modern world and show you how to thrive |
| 0:27.7 | in an environment that's stacked against you. If you enjoyed today's show, you can find |
| 0:31.3 | out more details and information at Dr. Anthony Guston.com. I'm excited to bring Chris |
| 0:37.2 | Masterjohn back on the podcast. He is an expert in all things on micro-nutrition. He's been |
| 0:42.8 | on the show before I talk about some of these things, especially as it pertains to a ketogenic |
| 0:47.0 | diet. But that was a few years ago. He has focused quite a lot recently on COVID and what |

| 1:11.1 | to the hospital. It's like enough a little bit, but still. You don't want to get sick and |
| 1:14.0 | he's put a lot of good research there about how to use nutrition as a way and micro-nutrition |
| 1:18.2 | specifically to mitigate from COVID. But we talk about more than that. We dive into a |
| 1:22.1 | lot of how he's been on the front lines trying to fight that fight and censorship and his |
| 1:27.2 | role in looking at a lot of the rules. He lives in New York. He has been vocal there with |
| 1:34.6 | mandates and everything else. It's going to be interesting to see how he thinks about |
| 1:37.9 | that as well as just diving into more of what he's learned and put together around micro-nutrition |
| 1:42.8 | moving forward. I learned a lot actually talking to him about micro-nutrition in this podcast, |
