Does coffee raise bad cholesterol? ☕ If you’re a busy professional who relies on coffee to get through the day, this is something you need to know. Certain brewing methods contain compounds called cafestol and kahweol that may increase LDL (aka “bad”) cholesterol. With heart disease being the leading cause of death in the U.S., this matters.The good news? Most people can safely enjoy 1–3 cups of unfiltered coffee per day without major impact when following a healthy lifestyle.What you add to your coffee can be just as important. Creamers, sweetened coffee drinks, and bulletproof coffee can quickly increase calories, sugar, and saturated fat, potentially slowing weight loss and negatively affecting cholesterol levels.In this video, I break down the science behind coffee, cholesterol, and how to enjoy your daily cup without sabotaging your health or fitness goals.Coach Julio is an expert in fitness and nutrition, having helped hundreds of busy office professionals and parents in their 30s, 40s, and 50s be their healthiest with personalized training plans and nutritionist counseling services.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has released new guidelines on GLP-1 inhibitors (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound, etc.) outlining how these medications should be used in the global fight against rising obesity rates. Originally created for type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications help manage hunger and support weight loss. The WHO emphasizes early intervention, lifestyle changes, and behavioral support alongside medication for long-term success.The new guidelines also highlight major challenges, including drug availability, high costs, and the future of GLP-1 inhibitors as patents of active ingredients (i.e. semaglutide) start to expire. With obesity affecting over 1 billion people worldwide, these recommendations aim to expand access, reduce global obesity rates, and improve outcomes. This video breaks down what the WHO’s GLP-1 guidance means for weight loss, health, and your fitness journey.Coach Julio is an expert in fitness and nutrition, having helped hundreds of busy office professionals and parents in their 30s, 40s, and 50s be their healthiest with personalized training plans and nutritionist counseling services.
