2022-04-20 01:14:14 Earlier this year, I was scheduled to speak on a stage with Bill Clinton and Goldie Hahn, among others.

They canceled my appearance with two weeks' notice because I had re-tweeted an article with airline CEOs saying that science did not justify wearing masks on airplanes.

As the world steps back into a more accurate reality, learn the lessons of the last two years. Science is not a religion. If it’s not OK to question any of your beliefs, then you’re not a scientist.

⁠
2. Glyphosate: Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide. Just eating all organic foods doesn’t mean you’re not being exposed. Glyphosate residues can still end up in your organic produce and water. ⁠
⁠
3. Natural flavors: While some natural flavors are safe, this term is quite ambiguous. Natural flavors might include allergens and mycotoxins that can make you feel ill, even in small amounts.⁠
⁠
4. Mycotoxins: Some of the most common food sources of mold and mycotoxins are grains, legumes, and low-quality coffee (my coffee is tested extensively).⁠
⁠
5. Histamines: High histamine foods include aged and fermented foods such as sauerkraut, yogurt, aged cheeses, cured meats, and canned fish. Histamines can also be formed rapidly in leftover food, so if you’re sensitive, you may want to cook and eat all of your meals fresh. ⁠ Open / Comment

Chocolate is a superfood, but there are a few things you need to watch out for.⁠
⁠
If it's made with milk, the milk blocks the polyphenols from being absorbed by your body and you won’t get the benefits. Milk chocolate and other chocolates are made with way too much sugar. If you can get chocolate with 0 sugar, that’s amazing. You also want at least 72% dark—ideally 85% dark.⁠
⁠
Chocolate can be a source of oxalic acid. If you are sensitive to oxalic acid, watch your chocolate consumption. Chocolate quite often contains the same fermentation toxins (mycotoxins) as coffee, wine, and beer - specifically ochratoxin or OTA.⁠
⁠
Chocolate is also naturally fermented with a species of candida that grows on it. If you have yeast issues, you might want to steer away from *raw* chocolate in favor of roasted chocolate, which is far more common. But if you are like most of us, a few squares of high-quality dark chocolate can improve your nitric oxygen levels and do all the great stuff from the image above.⁠

2022-04-15 01:58:03 There’s a sneaky tactic food companies use when it comes to chocolate Easter products and it requires some label sleuthing to catch it. Cheap candy products are made and packaged to look like chocolate, but they’re really just sugar and hydrogenated vegetable oils in disguise.⁠
⁠
Everyone loves a good Easter morning egg hunt but it’s worth it to invest in quality chocolate. Eggs and bunnies filled with sugar, junk oils, and artificial colors and flavors will bring out the worst in your kids.⁠
⁠
Numerous studies have shown that food dye can increase hyperactive behavior in children. Hydrogenated oils increase inflammation in the body, and sugar can lead to irritability and energy crashes.⁠
⁠
Here's what you can do:⁠
-Take a moment to read the label. ⁠
-Look for chocolate with cocoa listed as one of the main ingredients (first two or three ingredients is ideal)⁠
-Avoid chocolate made with hydrogenated vegetables oils.⁠
⁠
By choosing the right chocolate, you can easily upgrade your Easter morning.⁠

2022-04-13 18:03:06 Today, I want to talk to you about mushrooms! (Not the ones that make you trip balls)

Mushrooms are not part of the Bulletproof Diet. However, well-sourced, high-quality medicinal mushrooms do serve a purpose as a supplement.

I’ve been taking mushrooms for the last 15 years, but a lot of them just didn’t do what the studies said they would.

I switched to a company called Life Cykel, based out of Australia, and I really trust the quality, potency, and bioavailability of their mushrooms. And I feel the difference after taking them.

- Lions Mane is totally superior brain fuel and helps my REM sleep.
- Reishi is perfect for winding down and contains immunity defense capabilities.
- Turkey Tail is for prebiotic gut health.
- Shiitake is great for hair, nails and skin support, and general immunity.
- Cordyceps is for a 4- to 6-hour energy hit

2022-04-13 04:52:37 So tired of manufactured controversies like this on a well-studied and highly effective prescription nootropic called modafinil.

I took it nearly every day for eight years as I recovered from toxic mold and brain fog. It changed my life. It improved my meditation practice. I would not have graduated from Wharton without it.

Militaries around the world use modafinil to promote wakefulness in pilots and soldiers because it’s kind of dangerous when they crash airplanes. It is more effective than caffeine and far safer than Adderall.

Should you take it every day? If you need to. After I got my metabolism working and fixed my brain, as described in the book Head Strong, modafinil no longer made a meaningful difference in my mental performance. So I stopped for years.

The normal dose is between 100 and 400 mg per day.

Lately, I’ve been enjoying a microdose, about 25 mg, to improve blood flow in the .

Hint: don’t use it to avoid sleep over the long term. Use it to kick ass during the day! Open / Comment
