No pain. No warning rash. No obvious change in energy. For many people, the first sign of a cholesterol problem is not a feeling at all, but a number on a blood test. That is what makes it so risky. Cholesterol can build up inside arteries over decades, narrowing the space blood has to move through. By the time symptoms appear, the problem may already involve the heart, brain, legs, or blood...]]></description><link>https://956jorge.wixsite.com/bmj-fitness/post/why-high-cholesterol-is-silent-but-dangerous</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a8a0a32fe6fd82d150532e1</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Aug 2026 20:58:29 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f60b0f_9b18c858e5cc4e54968a4f055bda199d~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Jorge Martinez</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Expectations]]></title><description><![CDATA[Expectations This began as a fat-loss book for physique competition, but that prep was too convoluted, relied on drug use, and followed protocols that constantly changed.

At  one point, I convinced myself gummy candy was… strategic. Not junk. Not sabotage. Strategic. Why? Because the brain is a brilliant lawyer—it will argue anything  into being a good idea if you want it bad enough. In my case, I leaned on the “gelatin” angle. Meat broth. Collagen. Recovery. I told myself, “This isn’t candy… this is basically nutrition.” That logic held up—until it didn’t.
