Enjoyed the conversation as well, and appreciate the recommendations!

A few random notes:

- best purchase that had the most impact on my life: WHOOP

- best unusual purchase of the year: 4KOR Massage Balls, way better than foam rollers (https://a.co/d/8kOobpr)

- we've very into "why not?" substitutions like moving away from microplastics (e.g. Caraway, glass tupperware, etc.), avoiding grill bristles (e.g. https://a.co/d/5D8yRYh), more natural personal care products (e.g. https://a.co/d/7k8zICZ)... always open to these recommendations

Regarding the health stuff, given how focused you seem to be on lipid markers and cardiovascular health, did you ever do a Calcium Test Score? I ask because many people with what you would consider very high blood lipid levels are clean as a whistle artery wise and thus in very good CV health.

All the research I personally did points to those variables being decoupled -- to the extent that some reputable studies have linked LOW cholesterol to poorer health outcomes.
