Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is a classic case of misattribution. 📚 Tim Ferriss's book, 'The 4-Hour Body,' did introduce the '30 in 30' rule: eat 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking. However, he did *not* include the 30 minutes of cardio. That part was added years later by biohacker Gary Brecka, who popularized the combined '30-30-30' method on social media.
