Q&A: Heart Rate Variability, Food Sensitivities & Charcoal

heart rate variability

Being Bulletproof is about asking questions and getting answers. Take that suspicious spot on your calf, for example. Have you ever wondered what the heck it is? Have you ever questioned how marijuana can have an effect on heart rate variability?

Each month, I record a special podcast to answer questions from the Bulletproof community. We pick the best questions that come from emails, Facebook, Twitter, the Bulletproof Forum, and the blog’s comment section. In this show you’ll gain access to a wealth of information that I hope will empower you on the way to living a more optimal life. Please enjoy!
