#153 - AMA #21: Deep dive into olive oil, high-intensity exercise, book update, and more

In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter and Bob take a deep dive into olive oil. They explore the history of olive oil, discuss observational data that led to the hypothesis that olive oil is a healthier alternative to many other fats, and they explain the classification of olive oil types —including what to look for in a high-quality "extra virgin" olive oil. Peter and Bob round out the discussion with a "two-minute drill," in which Peter answers questions from subscribers. They cover zone 5 training, an update on Peter's book, lactate meters, standing desks, massage guns, electrolyte supplementation, and more.
