It’s easy for the Bulletproof Diet to become expensive. That’s because with food, as with most things, you get what you pay for. High quality healthy fats and proteins are expensive foods, but often not as expensive as some junk food. The human body isn’t constructed out of rice and...

Check out this cool infographic from Greatist.com. I found it while reading a fun coffee industry site called Shot Zombies. Apparently my new Bulletproof Upgraded Coffee has ruffled some feathers in the coffee industry. You’ve read about most of these benefits of coffee and tea in posts on The Bulletproof...

When it comes to nutrition and mainstream magazines with lots of ads from junk food companies, journalists sometimes seem to be oblivious to the research they write about. Take Time Magazine in particular.  In 1985 they tried to convince you cholesterol and saturated fat caused heart disease, now in the...

I’ve spent more than 10 years figuring out how to make great tasting foods that are low in toxins and high in healthy nutrients. Almost all Bulletproof Recipes are pretty easy to make and taste far better than what you’ll find at a restaurant. They are gluten-free, almost entirely casein-free,...

Good coffee may be magic. It can support brain function, memory, and energy levels. It can serve as a source of antioxidants and is associated with all sorts of positive health outcomes. However, the wrong coffee can sap your health and hurt your performance. When I started using espresso in...

Insomnia is a major problem for many high-performing type-A entrepreneurs. Some insomniacs can’t fall asleep, and some can’t stay asleep. Neither of those is a problem for me anymore (at least that I’m aware of; my Sleep Cycle app will verify if I’m waking up without knowing it). I used...

Wow… In 1997, Weight Watchers made up the “points system” which helped people to count calories.  This effectively created a weight loss company that profited from teaching people ineffective ways to lose weight, driving them to spend more money losing weight. It was bad for people but good for the...

This article is the first in a series I’ll write about how to safely(ish) hack your sleep. I’m a biohacker, not a physician (although I’m married to one of those), and even my die-hard 80 year old antiaging friends who attend Smart Life Forum and look like they’re 60 will...
