Want to reap all the benefits of the Bulletproof Diet? It’s about more than just eating the foods on the green end of the spectrum; it’s about eating the highest quality versions of those foods, which sometimes can be hard to find. Ideally, the foods you eat will be local,...

Exactly 10 years ago to the day, I met my wife Dr. Lana for the first time in Las Vegas at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.There is no way I could have imagined that *exactly* 10 years later, she would be my wife, we’d have 2 awesome kids, they...

MCT oil brings out the fat-soluble flavors in foods. It’s flavorless, so...

Black coffee is so powerful that Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a musical piece in 1732, titled “The Coffee Cantata,” with lines like “If I can’t drink my bowl of coffee three times daily, then in my torment, I will shrivel up like a piece of roast goat.” Scientists are still...

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?

When you look at biochemistry, it really is amazing that people still think of wheat as a food. Besides lectins, phytic acid, digestive inhibitors, and various other antinutrients, wheat is mostly contaminated with mold toxins.  The toxins form while the wheat is being transported or stored, but new evidence is...

  Statins are one of the most used drugs in the history of human existence.  In 2008, $12.4 billion dollars worth of Lipitor was sold. In 2000, almost half of all patients with dyslipidemia (bad blood results) were taking a statin (this is despite a lack of clinical trials showing they...

Not all Bulletproof readers have kids – but those who do frequently ask, “What the heck should I feed my kids?” It’s hard to get kids to eat healthy food when they’re used to chocolate frosted sugar bombs for breakfast. Fortunately, it’s much easier to get kids to eat a...

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 Jaminet, both guys I respect very much who argue that...

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 personal performance as food. If you eat crap, you won’t...

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 some interesting benefits that come to mind, like increased muscle...
