The Skinny on Bulletproof® Coffee, Breakfast of Champions

February 10, 2015 Jordan Bowditch
Skinny.png

Butter and oil in your coffee? That’s kinda weird, right? Why yes, yes it is rather strange. But, it’s healthy, effective, and freakin' delicious. I look forward to waking up every morning, not only because I know I’m about to feel like Superman (ladies, think Wonderwoman), but also because Bulletproof® Coffee is a totally tasty treat.

Why do you need Bulletproof® Coffee in your life? So many reasons…

Sleep Better Now (Part 2) - Nutrition and Sleep

February 6, 2015 Erik Till
Spiderman Sleeping

Over time, I implemented good daily habits that contribute to getting a great night’s sleep and waking up feeling fully recharged.  These habits start from the moment I wake up and continue throughout every part of the day.  In Part 1, I discuss in detail my morning routine, how it sets me up to have an amazing day, and why it is the foundation to sleeping well that night.  To very quickly recap: I am gently woken up by a Sleep Cycle alarm, then I stretch, drink water, journal, meditate, drink more water, drink coffee, read my daily affirmations, exercise, get some sunlight, and shower.  In this article, I focus on diet, supplements, and more to help you get an amazing night of sleep...

Sleep Better Now (Part 1) - Starting Your Day for Better Sleep

January 27, 2015 Erik Till
Lack of quality sleep is worse than Kryptonite

Lack of quality sleep is worse than Kryptonite

Sleep, especially of the high-quality variety, is so important to overall health and well-being that it cannot be emphasized enough.  In fact, I will go as far as to say that if you had to choose one thing in your life to improve - between diet, exercise, continual learning, etc. - I would say choose sleep.  Getting a good night’s sleep is paramount to improving brain function, performance, looking good, longevity, and happiness.

'The Bulletproof Diet' Book Review

January 20, 2015 Erik Till
The Bulletproof Diet book cover

The Bulletproof Diet book cover

Dave Asprey's The Bulletproof Diet is more than a diet book; it is a healthy lifestyle book with the science to back it up.  Dave does a good job of breaking everything down into relatively simple terms, while still providing explanations for the chemistry and biology behind his methods.  In other words, he doesn’t just tell you what to eat - he explains how to eat/prepare it, when to eat it, and (most importantly) why to eat it (or not eat it).

Forget the 'New Year' Resolution. Make a 'New You' Resolution.

January 6, 2015 Erik Till
Mind what you have learned.  Save you it can.

Mind what you have learned.  Save you it can.

No matter what your New Year’s resolutions or life goals are (or even your to-do list for today), living healthier will make it much easier to accomplish them all - long-term, short-term, and anywhere in between.  I have found that by being healthier, my other goals seemingly accomplish themselves.  An important realization I made somewhat recently is that being physically and mentally/emotionally healthy are different sides of the same coin.  Improving one side will positively and proportionately impact the other...

Dietary Fats: A Tale of Bro-Science and Self-Experimentation (Part 1)

December 29, 2014 Brent Totty
Dietary Fats Part One

Experimenting with different nutritional ideologies as well as supplementation theory over the past ten years has led me to the following baseline theory: your body is a chemistry set. There are many ways to get to a certain ‘compound’ if I may; however, each method comes along with its own set of parameters and reactions that you must experiment with...

Fast forward a few years - experimentation with Intermittent fasting led me to put some real research into insulinogenic effects of different types of food. I was sick of being hungry all day at work, and was looking to trade in my Michelin Certified Physique for that 8 pack. Lo and behold, Fats are not insulinogenic (I'll get into this in another article). Wait, so you are saying that I can eat fats to sustain energy without spiking my insulin, thus keeping my body in a fat burning zone while not breaking my “fast” and still perform in the gym? …LIGHTBULB.
