Chris Masterjohn: COVID-19 to Mitochondrial Health, Communicating and Applying "the Science"

Chris Masterjohn, a nutritional scientist and mitochondrial biologist, launched Mitome, a consumer‑focused platform for mitochondrial health testing. In a conversation with Razib Khan, he critiqued the COVID‑19 response, alleging authorities overstated certainty and faced attempts at censorship. Masterjohn also argued for prioritizing nutrition and exercise over pharmaceuticals and explained mitochondria’s central role in genetics, physiology, and evolution.
