The Protocols
The science behind functional medicine and health, one protocol at a time — from the Chief Scientific Officer & Lead Formulator at Med-Chem Labs.
Three frequencies.
Every episode runs the same three checksFirst, the molecule.How it works
Absorption, structure, why the form matters. If the mechanism doesn't hold, nothing built on it does.
Then, the data.What's shown
What's been studied, what hasn't, and how to tell a real finding from a marketing sentence.
Finally, Tuesday.What to do
Timing, consistency, and the habits that turn occasional support into daily support.

Season one · coming soonMonolaurin vs. coconut oil: what a formulator actually measures
Why lauric acid, MCT oil and monolaurin are not interchangeable, and how to read the chemistry on a label.
Start low, go slow: the science of easing into a routine
How the body adapts to change, why gradual is smarter, and the dosing mindset behind every formulation.
Inside the lab: how a mini-pellet gets made
Ingredient standards, testing, and the small decisions that separate a clean formula from a marketed one.
How practitioners introduce a new supplement
Patient onboarding, tracking, and the questions practitioners hear most.
Gut health without the hype
Separating the evidence from the feed, with Katie Morra of Gut Honest Truth.

"A protocol isn't a promise. It's a mechanism you understand, evidence you've checked, and a routine you can actually keep."
Chief Scientific Officer & Lead Formulator at Med-Chem Labs. He designs oral and topical products, sets ingredient standards, and tests whether an idea survives contact with real chemistry. The show is that rigor, aimed at the questions people actually ask.
