Balancing Calcium and Phosphorus in the Diet, and the Importance of Measuring Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), Christopher Masterjohn

Podcast

In this episode, Christopher Masterjohn answers a listener’s question about whether to worry about phosphorus intake and whether a high phosphorus intake is okay as long as it is balanced by calcium. He describes the biochemistry and physiology of the system that regulates calcium and phosphorus, their distribution in foods, how to determine the right balance in the diet, and how to use parathyroid hormone (PTH) as a blood measurement to assess whether the dietary balance is working for an individual.
