 How to prepare bulletproof coffee, and then we've got four minutes for questions. Number one, beans. You want mechanically processed beans with a clean process like mine. Those are the best. Mine cost two bucks more than Peets or Starbucks whole beans. Wet process is your second best choice. If you're in a town, there's a coffee shop, find the guy with the most tattoos where they roast their own beans and ask him he'll know. Single origin, high altitude, Central American. Central American beans have less insect infestation problem and less environmental stress. So Central American beans make less toxins than beans from Southeast Asia or Africa. You want caffeinated or you don't want it. When you brew it, you can use a paper filter, but you get these two important substances sucked out of there. If you use a metal filter, you get very potent brain anti-inflammatories, not an antioxidant anti-inflammatory like aspirin or Tylenol for your brain. If you eat Omega-6 oils, which almost all of you do, you have brain inflammation and it's affecting how you perform on a regular basis. You feel different when you drink French press coffee than paper filtered coffee if the coffee is clean. In fact, you feel very different. And if you want to make your coffee bulletproof, you take Kerry Gold. MCT oil is clear odorless liquid. I travel with two of these. Actually, I took three of them because I've been on the road for 19 days. I landed 36 hours ago from Singapore. So I take this. I usually pour it on a little bit of sushi or I put it in my coffee in the morning and I have that for breakfast. That said, there's a quote here. I hope you can read it with this lighting. It's from Henry Miller. It says, the goal of life is not to possess power but to radiate it. And I try to live by those words to say I'm not out for doing all this stuff for me. I'm doing it because I would like to be a more powerful person, but more powerful over myself. And when I do that right, people around me can tell it and then I have something to offer. It's the reason that the content on my blog is free. The reason I make the stuff that I do, I sell it at very low margins because it's the best I have. And it's also the stuff that I want to be available for myself. So by sharing it, I make it more available. That said, check me out at bulletproofexec.com. My Twitter handle is at bulletproofexec.com. I actually answer it on occasion when I'm not in the air. And we have time for a few questions. A couple questions about the coffee. Because I usually get, you know, pretty anxious and my heart rate starts increasing when I drink coffee. Did your coffee, do you already have like the butter kind of in there with the beans or do you have to add that after? You add butter yourself. It's possible to roast coffee with butter, but it kind of destroys the butter. They do that in Indonesia. It's not something I'd recommend. So you just add the butter afterwards, just brew black coffee, add the butter, blend it. What do you think about the supplement that the four-hour body recommends, Hooperzine? Hooperzine is a double-edged sword. I've used it. About a third of you are sympathetic dominant. Sorry, are choline dominant, not sympathetic dominant. When you're choline dominant, that means you have extra choline in your brain. Hooperzine is a colon esterase inhibitor, which means so 66% of you, you take it, you'll probably feel good. The other ones, you can actually get symptoms of chronic fatigue if you have way too much choline. And I've made that mistake in the past of just having too much choline. So I don't think Hooperzine is a really good idea, unless you know that you benefit from choline supplementation on a regular basis. You could test yourself by just taking lots of choline and seeing how you respond. If you get tired or headachey or jaw tension, Hooperzine is not for you. Not really a question, Dave, but I wanted to reiterate about your vitamin D. I think I started it taking it about 2007-2008 and I haven't been sick a day. I got, in fact, not even the seasonal headcolds. Twice this year, I felt like I was starting to get one. You know that weird feeling in the back of your throat? Bam, 20K IU two days gone. It's pretty amazing. But get your sun too. Yeah, sun does something called sulfating. When you get sun, you get vitamin D sulfate. The only source of this is either a tanning lamp or sunlight. And cholesterol sulfate, which is formed when sunlight strikes your skin, is terribly important. And it's almost unknown what this does. But it's one of the ways that your body uses cholesterol better. So sunlight's an important vital nutrient, but man, vitamin D by itself is kind of magic. Those are good numbers. Maybe about two more, maybe? I just wanted to touch a point. You said, the question you asked, you said chocolate or coffee, right? Are they about the same when it comes to the properties or are they? They're similar for mTOR inhibiting. As I understand it, chocolate is not quite as strong as coffee. Chocolate has a set of health benefits aside from coffee, but it shares the problem of mold during processing and storage. So I've, in fact, this week I launched a bulletproof, upgraded chocolate powder and cocoa butter that are designed to not have the toxins in them. So the quality of the source matters enormously. If you use them properly, they're like herbal supplements with definite benefits. If you get low quality stuff, you're not taking just chocolate or just coffee. You're taking chocolate plus coffee plus biogenic amines plus mold toxins, and the effect on your body will be different. You were so close. I mean, you were so close. If the chocolate had hit the warehouse in time to ship it here, I'd have given you a thing of chocolate for your answer, but I don't have it with me. All right, we have another one? Oh, where? I don't know where the mic went. I noticed you have protein powder. I guess my question is like two parts. What do you mix with that? What do you feel, what's your feeling on milk in this bulletproof diet? Milk of any types, you know, standard milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or none of the above? If you're going to drink cow milk and needs to be raw, and even then, a lot of people have problems with raw cow milk, what I recommend is get milk without protein. Butter has very little protein in it. If you're really sensitive to milk, you might need to use ghee, which is clarified butter. If you're doing cheese or liquid milk, the pasteurized stuff, it's just bad for you. It contributes to inflammation throughout the body. A lot of people break gluten, which is also off the diet, wheat protein, and milk protein down to something called caseomorphin or gluteomorphin. These are morphine analogs. They're opiates. They trigger the opiate receptors in your brain, and they make you want more cheese. They make you want more bread. And they're the reason you feel really crappy if you stop eating those things for two or three days. You're going through the same process, but not quite as big as someone who's been hitting the needle. So I just... Finally, after a long time, I said, you know, I'm not eating quesadillas anymore. Even on, you know, the once a day cheat week, my cheat day per week is not even cheating. It's a starch refeed day, and I have sweet potatoes or white rice, because they're the lowest toxin sources of starch. And when I do that, I feel awesome the next day. When I eat crap on my refeed day, like in the four-hour body, you will feel like crap for up to four days. So why would you throw away four out of seven days of the week just to have one day of eating pizza and chocolate croissants? It just doesn't work. Is this...wrap it up? All right. Thank you, everyone.
