Wake up and Smell the Coffee! and ask....

Is my coffee mould free???

If the answer is I don't know? It means you are not drinking the real deal Bulletproof beans.
Does it matter?? you might ask.. Hell yeah!
The toxins present in coffee can mess with your brain, energy and over all well being.

On learning this a few years back I tried the beans after being coffee free and felt for the
first time the pure energy giving clear headed state coffee is meant to give. (PS Organic and freshly roasted does not equal mould free)

Where did the old jitters and anxiety go? The low that always left me desperate for another cup?

Game Changer - Coffee in it pure state real is good for me! Hallelujah!

I thought.. Why wouldn't I give myself this guilt free gift every day... hmmm
So I did and I do!

SO grateful to Dave Asprey and the Bulletproof crew for making this possible and the consistent
no holes barred methods you take to make this a pure brew.

What more can I say.... except.. Its Your Turn ;)

International Mental Health Day - Less is the new More

Yesterday was International mental health day - and thats exactly why this post is a day later:)
I needed the day for me - for my mental health so I can be a better happier me today!

The message here is that its not just ok to take time out from social media and life but that it is essential!

The need to always be ON as such is taking over our daily lives.

My challenge and ultimate request for you is for the first hour of your day to NOT turn on or engage in any type of emails, facebook.. messages.. news.
Let this time be for you, your kids, pets.

Allowing this creates a calmer haven for your mind to be MORE productive the rest of the day.
The most productive business people in our world such as Peter Sage operate this way.
I was intrigued  that a local busy young entrepreneur with several companies I engaged with recently does this also. He also takes time everyday to mediate for at least an hour during his day to remain on the top of his game.

Are you ready for to take charge of your metal health but need help?
I am now taking Coaching clients. See www.energiseme.co.nz for details.

So YES - LESS is the new More:)

A Bulletproof Traveller...

I have been following Dave Asprey for just over a year. Initially, I was introduced to the Brain Octane oil and used it in my morning smoothies. However, throughout the year, I began to realize the positive impact of the oil and ventured to try more products... bars, cacao tea, chocolate, hot chocolate powder (yes all the chocolate products!)


I am a big traveller; but until now, I haven't been able to ‘hack’ the travel experience. All I've managed to do was bring along some bars…

So, after successfully managing to make my Bulletproof coffee (tea) every morning while on vacation, I decided to share a few tips with you!


  • Do some research on your accommodation and/or the type of trip you will be taking… will you have access to a fridge, kettle w/ hot plate, utensils? Where is the closest grocery store to your accommodation? If you are going out of the country, what brands offer grass-fed, unsalted butter (so you know what to look for if you are like me and get to the store 10 minutes before closing!)?
    • I was on a ‘budget tour’ and staying at hostels, so I knew I would have access to a kitchen every morning and would have a fridge to keep my butter. I also had a small lunch cooler that I could put the butter in during the day while travelling on the bus to another location
  • Bring a small plastic container- I found this to be more for my own ‘piece of mind’ than anything else and used it to put the butter package in during the day to ensure that it wouldn’t get squished or get butter on other items while I was transporting it from hostel to hostel
  • Bring a spork or set of plastic utensils- I found this to be helpful for cutting butter in mornings as well as for cutting and eating my avocado at lunch!
  • Bring a leak-proof mug for making Bulletproof Coffee/Tea
  • Fill a few leak-proof bottles with Brain Octane or XCT oil prior to leaving (the number of bottles depends on your length of travel; how much oil you intend to use; and the size of the bottles you buy)
  • Bring the silver ‘shaker’ ball/piece of the plastic protein shakers for easy mixing in mug
  • Pre-scoop Bulletproof Collagen Protein for how many days you will be away and put in a bag/container (I happened to be on my last few days and had an extra bag it came in… I thought this was best as I am aware it can appear to be a little mysterious as a white powder…)
  • Pre-scoop Bulletproof Coffee for how many days you will be away
    • I decided to stick to Bulletproof tea for my travels and brought a few tea bags (if you are going to do this, I steeped tea in separate cup first and added the tea to the mug- minus the bag- and then shook contents)
  • Pack Bulletproof bars for some extra fuel :)


DIRECTIONS:
In the mornings, put butter, Brain Octane/XCT oil, and Collagen Protein (optional) in a mug and shake up! You will surely be energised in no time and ready to explore :)


Safe Travelling && Happy Bulletproof-ing,

The Travelling Intern
