Should you use coconut oil or MCT oil? Does it matter?
What if your butter isn’t grassfed?

In October 2019, our relationship with Thrive Market changed. They decided to put their marketing dollars in avenues outside of podcasting but we still think they’re a good choice if you’re looking to save money on health & personal care products.
I recently had to have my gallbladder removed. I was so excited to listen to the podcast and find out that for some people mct is easier to digest since it is metabolized by the liver. I was worried because I have heard all kinds of horror stories about unpleasant gi symptoms after surgery. Always dropping the great knowledge!! Thanks!!
You’re so welcome! I’m so glad it was helpful to you!
I add some Better Half (no carb, almond/coconut milk blend) when I blend my BPC, which makes it so latte like and yummy. Thoughts on that?
My thought is: is it working for you? Satisfying your hunger? Are you seeing results? Is it an improvement for you?
I am slowly catching up on older podcasts. In regards to Thrive Market, I LOVE IT! So glad I heard about it here. Their Marinara is so yummy and they often have free giveaway products. Their brand of Coconut oil is really good. And of course I am hooked on the nuco wraps.
Thanks so much, Kelley! I’m with you on the coconut wraps for sure!!
Dave Asprey writes that Bulletproof coffee is essential in intermittent fasting and says since it doesn’t have protein or carbs, you are still in the fast when drinking bulletproof coffee for breakfast. Now I’m wondering about that after listening to this podcast saying it does add fuel and break a fast. I’ve been drinking it every morning while practicing intermittent fasting – only eating from 2- pm. drinking bulletproof coffee at 8 am during what I thought was my fast. If I truly want to intermittent fast, I should cut out the bulletproof coffee?
only eating from 2-8 pm, that is
There are lots “modified fasts”. Fasting is the absence of fuel. To answer your question, you have to look at why you’re fasting to begin with. If it’s for fat loss, what happens to your fat loss with the approach you’ve been taking? Your body has to give you your answer here.
Do you believe that Kicking Horse and Devocion coffee do not contain mold as Bulletproof coffee proposes to not have> I,too, am having a hard time with the flavor of Bulletproof coffee as I am a coffee enthusiast and it tastes pretty bad to me so looking for a clean (not moldy) coffee that tastes great to me
The flavor of BP brand coffee isn’t related to it’s toxin free nature. That acidic flavor isn’t from being “clean” as you say, but rather the type of bean, roasting style, etc. Everyone has different standards. The coffees I drink meet mine, otherwise I wouldn’t drink them 🙂 But the acidity is about the beans and roasting, not the toxin free piece.
hi can we take carb diet with bullet proof coffee
Hi Hazma, I don’t understand the question. I don’t know what “take carb diet” means. Can you clarify? Thanks!
Hi Elizabeth, i have Bullet proof coffee in the morning, Can I have Bullet Proof coffee in the afternoon as well?
You get to decide what you eat, how many times and when. Personally, I prefer real, whole food I can chew but everyone is different.
Getting tired of the same ol’ breakfast food, so going to give this a shot. I found New Sports MTC oil in a vanilla hazelnut flavor. Have you tired this before? Any reason to get the pure vs. a flavor? Thanks in advance EB!
I haven’t tried it but personally work to stay away from added flavor.
This is my first time listening to your podcast and I’m wondering if you’ve ever been told you sound like Sarah Silverman? It’s really comforting and I love your honest and informative voice. Thanks!
Hi Christina! Nope, I’ve never heard that. But I’m really glad you find it comforting!
