Mere mortals can sign up for the free month, then unsubscribe, and do that as often as you wish. But if the content has value to you, consider supporting Dr. Eenfeldt's brave venture.
Dr. Mente had lots of dense slides that I would sum up as this:

“Our study adds to growing evidence to suggest that, at moderate intake, sodium may have a beneficial role in cardiovascular health, but a potentially more harmful role when intake is very high or very low. This is the relationship we would expect for any essential nutrient and health. Our bodies need essential nutrients like sodium, but the question is how much,” said Mente.

Like many nutrients, there is a J curve to optimal intake. Don't be at either end, and the AHA recommendations are way down into the "too low" for your own good territory.
