Ben Greenfield discusses his experience with excessive exercise and its negative impact on his heart health, despite maintaining a high fitness level. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the Goldilocks zone for exercise and the potential risks associated with exceeding recommended limits. He also introduces the concept of advanced heart health tests.

  • CT angiography and CIMT are valuable tests for assessing heart health beyond standard lipid panels.
  • There's a law of diminishing returns with exercise, exceeding 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity per week can be detrimental.
