Episode notes
Manage Cholesterol While Eating Animal Protein
- Prioritize lean cuts of meat and properly raised animal products to limit saturated fat impact on cholesterol.
- Include dietary fiber and favor grass-fed beef for higher stearic acid and a more favorable lipid effect.
Sodium Isn't The Main Villain
- Sodium's harm is overstated for most people and mainly comes from ultra-processed foods rather than the salt shaker.
- Adequate potassium and magnesium intake blunts sodium's cardiovascular risk and matters more than strict salt restriction.
Daily Supplement Essentials
- Take evidence-backed basics: daily creatine (3–5 g), vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium, and a quality protein powder when needed.
- Cycle other supplements and evaluate science before using niche products like astaxanthin or cocoflavanols.
