Bulletproof Blog

Clever but ill-informed marketers will name almost any unusual food a “superfood.” Did you know goji berries are in the nightshade family like tomatoes and can cause inflammation in some people? Give me a break. The truth of the matter...

If you read the blog very much, you know that I am totally opposed to the Tim Ferris style re-feed day where you eat whatever kind of crap you want once a week. The toxins, gluten, and bad fats in...

We’ve all been there. It’s been a long, stressful, yet productive day, and you’ve worked yourself to the limit. For the last few hours of work, all you wanted was to go to bed, but you got the job done....

Poking yourself with sharp objects might not seem like the most effective way to improve your sleep, but first impressions are often misleading. The Bulletproof approach is to try what is supposed to work, and if it doesn’t, then go...

Do you know what type of bird you are? Most people don’t. They work the typical 9 to 5 without considering when they are most productive. As biohackers, that is not okay. We want to work smart and play hard with...

At the Ancestral Health Summit at Harvard University, one of the more interesting panels titled “Safe Starches: Are They Essential on an Ancestral Diet?” was moderated by Jimmy Moore, of Low-Carb Cruise fame. The panelists included Chris Kresser and Paul...

When it comes to being Bulletproof, eating is only a small part of what you can do to perform better. You won’t find many Paleo bloggers who follow neuroscientists, but I consider neuroscience and psychology to be as important for...

Caffeine is obviously a major component of coffee, but it’s not the only one by long shot that has a biological effect. If we focus on just the caffeine part of coffee as a central nervous system stimulant, there are...
