Bonus Episode: Can Your Cholesterol Be TOO Low? Why Starting is Hard, & Your Cardio Time-Hack

This episode tackles major debates in health and performance! We resolve the question of whether your cholesterol (LDL/ApoB) can ever be "too low" by examining genetic and clinical trial evidence. We dive into the psychology of starting—explaining the "dread" before a task as psychological inertia—and offer actionable tips to overcome it. Finally, we cover optimizing time-limited cardio with high-intensity strategies.
