A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

Hey Jake, I'm glad you asked. Bulletproof coffee is a carefully designed recipe and it has three ingredients. You can't just put butter in your coffee. Although that's not a bad idea. It's not bulletproof that way. The first ingredient is lab tested mold free bulletproof coffee beans. This matters because a lot of coffee out there has toxins in it, as I mentioned earlier. And those toxins can actually undo the benefits of coffee. That's why I'm really a stickler for super high quality clean coffee without that jitter crankiness that comes from fermenting it wrong. You brew the coffee, you put the hot coffee in a blender and instead of cream or milk, you add grass fed butter. And it has to be grass feder, it doesn't work. And you add brain octane oil, which is that C8MCT oil made by bulletproof. And anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoon of those things works fine. And then you hit blend on the blender and you blend it for 10, even 20 seconds. And blending is really important. If you blend works much better than if you just kind of stir it around or shake it. But if you can only stir or shake, do what you can. And when you do this, it should look, taste and feel like a latte when you drink it. It's enjoyable, it's pleasant, it's not gross or anything like that, as you might expect on drinking butter that, hey, butter is the same stuff that's in cream. We're just removing some of the things that are in cream that aren't beneficial. And why would you drink this weird concoction? Well, we've done almost 200 million cups of bulletproof coffee. It is available as a cold brew nationally and people have lost more than a million pounds on the bulletproof diet. And you drink it because it makes you feel amazing, because it gives you a burst of energy from fat with zero sugar in it. Because it doesn't activate insulin in the body, it doesn't activate any of the protein digestion pathways. So basically you drink it. You don't want a snack in the middle of the morning. You probably don't even want lunch and you have such amazing energy. It is truly, truly a game changer for me because, well, I used to weigh 300 pounds and I weigh about 205 pounds right now. I'm 10.3% body fat. So that's why I do bulletproof gavi because it makes your brain work, because it's like you're fasting, but you have way more energy and you get the benefits of having ketones that are added from the brain octane in there and you feel truly good.

Hello listeners, this is Anne Bogle, author, blogger, and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week I tag all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next read. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately, and I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years, and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course, recommending books that meet the moment. Whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change, or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything. You'll learn something about yourself as a reader, and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try.
