Hey, I'm JJ Virgin, author of the New York Times bestseller the Virgin Diet. And today is a really exciting day for me. Now, if you know me, you know I love coffee. But this is about to go to a whole new level because there is a ton of buzz, for good reason, about bulletproof coffee. So I have the bulletproof executive himself, the Dave Asprey, with me to tell us all about it. Hello, Dave.
J.J. so exciting to be here with you.
So, coffee, my favorite food group, but I spent a little time with you and you rocked my world with this. So first thing that I'd love to know is what makes bulletproof coffee different and what makes it so different that I can't drink regular coffee anymore?
Bulletproof coffee is made with three things, only three. The first one is upgraded coffee beans. These are coffee beans that I make with a different process before they're even put in a roasting facility. And we do that to make beans that increase the way you can think, they increase energy and they don't contain toxins that are common in most coffee production techniques. So by removing the bad stuff and leaving only the good stuff, you get an unfair advantage in how you feel. It's really amazing. On top of that, you add grass fed unsalted butter and upgraded MCT oil, which is another thing that I make. MCT oil is the most powerful part of coconut oil is six times stronger than coconut oil, but it has less calories than 6 whole tablespoons of MCT oil would. When you blend the fat into the coffee, you get this delicious, creamy, amazing taste. But it turns off food cravings and you lose weight quickly. But most of all, you have the ability to just focus effortlessly. And bagels and things that tempt you lose their power over you entirely.
This is so huge. I mean, I've always said that coffee is a health food and people are like. But it turns out there were the issues because those mycotoxins. And now I gotta tell you, I was very skeptical when you say, put some butter in coffee. And I'm like, seriously? So I tried a little bit at home first and I got your MCT oil and I, I had the grass fed butter, but I didn't do it correctly. So can you walk us through really how to do that correctly so they don't have a bulletproof mishap?
Definitely. Check out the videos on bulletproofexec.com. here's the short version. All you do is you brew your coffee, brew it hot. A French press is a very easy way to do it. Anyone can do that. And then you pour the hot coffee into a blender. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of grass fed unsalted butter. The brand I usually buy is Kerrygold, because you can buy it almost everywhere. And then you add a tablespoon and sometimes more of the MCT oil. You start slowly with that and see how much of it you can take. It's very high octane. If you take too much of it, it can be just.
Yeah. What will happen? I'll have too much energy, I'll burn too much fat.
You can actually feel a little anxious because you have so much energy and your body doesn't know what to do with it. So some people have to ramp up from even a teaspoon, but most people take between one and, in my case, three tablespoons of it at a time in my coffee. And I just have limitless energy. It's amazing. And JJ, I've lost £100 and kept it off for 10 years.
It's mind blowing. So obviously it's. And I will tell you, just one other aside just on the coffee by itself is I can't drink regular coffee. It buzzes me out too much.
Me either.
And you told me, oh no, you'll be able to drink this. Like, uh huh, sure, Dave. But seriously, I can and it doesn't buzz me out. But I will tell you because I now have the real deal made by the Dave himself. And it's amazing. And anyone who's been missing their dairy and missing their lattes, you will never miss it again. And you'll be able to get through the day with this. And you aren't, you aren't hungry. It's incredible. So thank you for this. This has been awesome. And I love bullet brew coffee and I can't wait to see what else you come up with because it seems like, you know, you are just changing the world with what you're finding out.
Jj, thank you. And thank you for the work you're doing.
