Alright, this recipe is fully loaded fuel that tastes like ambrosia of the gods. I tried it out this morning and my brain has been humming along quite nicely since about 5am. Here's the full recipe (yeah, you need plenty of ingredients, but it's worth it). Into a Nutribullet or any other heat-friendly blender, add the following:

- 2 heaping tablespoons of MiCacao mix (this is a mix of cacao nibs and cacao shells that gives you the experience of drinking pure chocolate with no calories)

- 2 packets Four Sigmatic Chaga mushroom extract

- 2 packets Four Sigmatic Lion's Mane extract

- 1 dropperful Omica Organics butterscotch toffee stevia

- 1 teaspoon of a good salt (I used Colima salt)

- 12-16 piping hot ounces of Kion Coffee

Blend on high for about 90 seconds, then open your blender carefully as contents can expand and get foamy (and the foam is oh-so-delicious). I may or may not have also put 0.5 grams of psilocybin extract into this mix, but that's your call. ;) Bon appetit!

• Turns out a very low carb diet doesn’t seem to impair high-end exercise performance but there are SO many variables to this that I’ll unpack in next podcast.
• If you are eating a very low carbohydrate diet and also limiting calories for the goals of weight loss, this study shows that you sure as heck better also be lifting weights.
• It's so ridiculous how the media thinks "fasting" is a newfangled eating disorder. They should read this.
• Interesting! A new review looks into the optimum exercise intensity, type, and duration for boosting mood.
