Through our day to day lives, we come to know that one of the most empowering practices we can PRACTICALLY do is being very conscious of what we DO WITH and PUT IN our bodies. In addition to working on an upcoming essay regarding a step by step meditation which we’ve been using for the last year, here also comes another mental/physical health recommendation post! It’s very exciting yes.
Out of all the health product companies out there, some are quite good and some are of course not so great. The supplement industry is ripe with fraudulence in their packaging and contents and it can be hard to tell what’s rubbish vs what’s quality.
Since they are not very obscure, you very well may have heard of the health product company “Bulletproof”. Basted out of British Columbia and Seattle, their out of the gate sales pitch is “We provide clean coffee, keto-friendly snacks and proven supplements made with carefully selected ingredients.” Their general overarching DIET ROAD MAP is very worth your time and even though their older logo seems to pretend to have something to do with mindfulness and meditation feels like bit of a shallow marketing gimmick claiming to have something to do with spirituality when it doesn’t necessarily do so, we’ve personally been using some of their creations over the last couple years with great results, and thus wanted to share them here.
We used to eat quite a bit of glucose, not in the form of crap processed sugars but in the form of certain grains, pastas, and orange juice. Man we loved orange juice as recently as 5 years ago. As we’d pound a quarter gallon of it in the morning and our face used to be a bit more chubby as a result. Yet as we’ve dove more and more down the diet rabbit hole, we have simply come to realize it’s all about eating natural clean foods which our great grandparents ate, which means burning fats instead of burning sugars. Long story of course, but since we’ve eliminated virtually all sugar from our diet, we’ve become more and more chiseled with more and more energy.
Bulletproof coffee has become a bit of a trend in the last couple years, but as a coffee lover, we will say we have been impressed by it. It’s basically the mixture of their quality bean blended with a bunch of healthy fats. So you fill up on fat and are actually engaging in a form of fasting for breakfast. As many of the stats on “intermitted” fasting as a beneficial health practice are clear, we have also found that to be the case through our own personal usage. On the “clean” front, Bulletproof has long claimed that many forms of coffee beans are contaminated with micro-toxins. Especially mass produced ones of course. They state that their beans are micro toxin free and we have never gotten sleepy after having a cup of their coffee. With only the opposite being true - mega energy! We used to stutter quite a bit and have also hand on heart found we are a much more articulate speaker when we have a cup of their coffee with a glob of butter, ghee, and/or various oils included. So ever since we rebooted the podcast into An Infinite Path, we have drunken a cup of bulletproof coffee before each conversation, and it has always felt like healthy fuel for the brain.
Collagen proteins claim to fame is strengthening bones and allowing for healthier skin. We wouldn't quite say that we glow like Doctor Manhattan from the Alan Moore graphic novel The Watchmen by eating their collage, but do feel it has made our skin better than ever in terms of imperfections.
We don’t drink their coffee, butter or not, necessarily every day, but do treat is as a special treat for breakfast perhaps a few times per week. Although we are certainly not a nutritionist, our mother actually used to be one many years ago so perhaps being diet knowledgable runs in the family. So these recommendations come not from some type of creditation with sigils behind our name, but instead purely from our experiences over the last couple years, and how they have made us feel physically directly stronger and more energetic.
Our favs are listed here, all of which go well in blended in coffee to make “Bulletproof Coffee”.
