When today’s podcast interview guest was first on the show back in Episode 569 in April 2012, we already knew at that time that the man behind Bulletproof Coffee would rise to new heights with the work he was doing. But little did we know at the time that he would go on to create the #1 iTunes Health podcast, Bulletproof Radio, and then pen one of the most highly anticipated health books of 2014 in The Bulletproof Diet: Lose up to a Pound a Day, Reclaim Energy and Focus, Upgrade Your Life. Dave is such a longtime friend of the show that Jimmy and him just started talking to start the show having a great conversation about all that has transpired in the past few years. Listen in to hear Jimmy and Dave talk about their shared philosophy for helping others in promoting their work, the explosion of popularity with his podcast (knocking Jillian Michaels out of the top spot) over the past year, how the failure of his Better Baby Book soured him on the publishing industry until he received a fortuitous e-mail, why you have to share the “how” in a book rather than hard science for the general population, whether he had any qualms putting “diet” into the title of his book, how to make biohacking more palatable to the general public, why increasing your ability to get back up after getting knocked down makes you “bulletproof,” what happens when you “hack” a system that’s already been hacked by others, the bacteria in your gut are there for them and not for you, the difference between the various kinds of resistant starch, why doing resistant starch all day everyday isn’t a good idea, the spectrum on the Bulletproof road map, why consuming too much of a Paleo favorite food like kale can be problematic in your health, how I still don’t like the taste of coffee of any kind, his role in the comeback story dietary fat is having on our culture, details on his upcoming new documentary film Moldy, how Starbucks policy doesn’t allow butter and coconut milk to be mixed with their coffee, the licensing of his Bulletproof Coffee for the chain of Paleo Cafe restaurants throughout Australia, the intense sugar cravings he got from consuming a plastic toxin, how consuming Bulletproof Coffee for breakfast helps keep your energy levels up to power through until lunch with no hunger or cravings, how using his Brain Octane Oil (high-potency MCT oil) helps him “cheat” to be in ketosis, how going out of ketosis once a week isn’t such a bad thing for most people, why burning protein as an energy source is an inefficient method, the invention of exogenous sources of ketones from beta-hydroxybutyrate salts and non-blood-sugar-raising starches, how the modern technology gives us more control over our biology than our caveman ancestors had, how to know which foods are best for you, the Superman references with Bulletproof and Kryptonite in his book, his story of meeting Brandon Routh who played Superman at the movies, and why he only read one chapter of the audiobook version of his book. Eavesdrop in on this awesome chat between two of the leading health podcasters today.
