Then there's particle #, size & density of particles, Apo B, LP(a), hs-CRP and more. Ask for more than a simple lipid panel.

HDL and LDL particles differ in several ways, including their:

Role in heart health
Role in treatment
Healthy levels

Key differences:

HDL:
🟢Removes excess cholesterol from your arteries, limiting plaque buildup
🟢Not targeted with medication
🟢40 to 80 for males; 50 to 80 for females

LDL:
🔴Deposits cholesterol in your arteries, adding to plaque buildup
🔴Targeted with medication
🔴Below 100 for most adults, but the lower the better

Both types of particles respond to things you do in your daily life, like what you eat and how much you move around.

Pendulum squats...seriously, try it.
Belt squats for overall leg and glutes too.

Jeff Nippard ranks 20 quad exercises from S (superior) to F (fail) based on tension, comfort, and progression.

After outlining anatomy and criteria, the F tier flags Bosu ball squats, while the C tier covers leg press, deadlifts, and pistol squats.

Mid-tier B and A exercises include lunges, goblet squats, front and low bar back squats, and leg extensions.

The S tier spotlights barbell back, hack, pendulum, and Smith machine squats as the most effective quad builders.

Bulgarian split squats earn special recognition for unilateral strength, with the hack squat crowned best overall for hypertrophy—see the full article for details.

Aim for around 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily. It supports muscle, stabilizes blood sugar, increases satiety, and boosts the thermic effect of food…meaning you burn more calories just digesting it.

And the easiest place to win the day is breakfast.

I highly recommend getting 30–40 grams of protein first thing in the morning. It sets the tone for your blood sugar, cravings, and energy for the rest of the day.

Personally, I start with a superfood smoothie that has berries, coconut water, a high-quality protein powder, AND a collagen powder. It’s quick, simple, and loads my body with protein right away.

When it comes to weight loss, protein absolutely moves the needle. But here’s the part most people miss…

If your hormones are imbalanced, fat loss can feel nearly impossible. You can eat clean, work out consistently, and still feel stuck. Hormonal dysfunction can drive cravings, slow metabolism, and make unwanted weight gain feel relentless.

That’s why I created a free training where I break down the fundamentals of balancing your hormones naturally…so your body works with you, not against you.

Comment ‘HORMONE’ and I’ll send it to you today.

Most people underestimate walking because it feels too simple…but inside your body it’s doing the exact things people try to hack with extreme diets and workouts.

When you aim for about 7–10k steps a day, every step activates hundreds of muscles, especially your legs and glutes. Those muscles pull sugar out of your bloodstream without needing extra insulin…meaning you’re lowering blood sugar just by moving.

At the same time:
👉 Your body starts burning stored fat for fuel
👉 Inflammation drains through the lymphatic system
👉 Cortisol drops, so cravings and belly fat storage go down
👉 Mitochondria increase, so you naturally burn more calories at rest

Now here’s where it gets powerful…

After about 6 months of consistent daily walking:
✅ Insulin sensitivity can improve up to 40%
✅ Your metabolism rises even when you’re sitting still
✅ Your body becomes better at switching between burning carbs and fat
✅ Hunger stabilizes because hormones regulate themselves

In other words…weight loss stops feeling like a constant fight.

Walking isn’t just “light exercise.”
It teaches your body how to function normally again.

Controlled time limited stress is good for the body upregulating positive pathways. Ongoing fight or flight stress responses are destructive.

You can be doing all the right things, but if you’re living in a constant stress response, stuck in fight or flight, your body isn’t getting the safety it needs to repair and replenish.

This was a moment in my conversation with .holistic.psychologist that really stayed with me.

We explored how profoundly the nervous system shapes our biology. When your system is wired for danger, it diverts energy toward protection, leaving repair, recovery, and growth as secondary priorities.

Chronic stress reshapes digestion, immunity, hormones, and cellular resilience. Safety is what allows the body to shift out of survival mode and into restoration.

My conversation with Dr. Nicole LePera goes live this Wednesday, 2/25. I can’t wait for you to hear this one. 🎧
