Thought this was mindblowing. A lot of it was familiar to me (e.g. women need a certain level of body fat) and some of it I knew as urban legend (e.g. body fat set point theory).

However, he references studies and talks about things men might experience at 5% body fat that I never expected, like extremely low testosterone.

Very interesting. I can identify many of the symptoms he described, and I'd never heard anyone giving a scientific explanation of those. Very important info to know
