How to Make Your Own Chlorophyll Detox Water

May 31, 2018 by Team Asprey

Move over, kale smoothies. Chlorophyll detox water is the elixir everyone’s sipping these days. Chlorophyll — the molecule that gives plants their green color and aids in photosynthesis — is chock full of vitamins and nutrients, and helps rid the body of toxins. Here, the benefits of chlorophyll, plus, a chlorophyll detox water recipe.

Chlorophyll’s benefits

Why is every wellness junkie downing liquid chlorophyll? Studies find that chlorophyll supplementation naturally decreases hunger[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23632035″] and induces weight loss.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24993695″] It’s also a terrific detoxifier because it promotes the production of liver enzymes that aid the body’s natural elimination process.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7788866″] These enzymes bind to unwanted materials in the liver and transport them safely out of your body.

You can easily up your chlorophyll intake by consuming more green, leafy vegetables. Or you can add drops of liquid chlorophyll to water or smoothies. Make your own chlorophyll detox water with the simple recipe below. It’s so good, even your kids will drink it (especially if you tell them it’s mermaid juice.)

Chlorophyll Detox Water

Ingredients:

Science Reveals The Best Way to Get Over Your Ex

May 30, 2018 by Team Asprey

Breaking up is rough, and getting over your ex? Even harder. Along with the agonizing emotions, heartbreak can also impact you physically, affecting your sleep, thoughts, and immune system.[ref url=”https://file.scirp.org/pdf/PSYCH20110400016_74393857.pdf”] However, science may have found a way for you to recover more quickly from a broken heart. A new study[ref url=”http://psycnet.apa.org/record/2017-37800-001″] tested different cognitive strategies to overcome heartache, and found one promising solution to help you move on.

Researchers from the University of Missouri – St Louis worked with a group of 24 people, ages 20-37. Each person had been in a long-term relationship of at least 2.5 years. Some had been dumped, while others had been the one to end the relationship. Regardless, they all still loved their exes and struggled to move on.

Strategies to recover from heartbreak

As part of the study, researchers had participants try out three cognitive strategies to get over their exes. These were:

Negative reappraisal: Here they focused on the annoying and unappealing traits of their previous partner (“He always ate with his mouth open!”)
Love reappraisal: Participants were asked to accept their feelings and read statements of affirmation like, “It’s ok to love someone I’m no longer with.”
Distraction: Participants shifted their focus to positive things, like their favorite food, instead of their ex.

A fourth strategy — the control condition — had participants think of nothing in particular.

Researchers used photographs to test emotions

Next, the researchers presented each participant with a photo of their former flame – much like what they would experience when seeing an ex on social media.

Researchers then analyzed the emotional intensity each person felt in response to the photographs with an electroencephalogram (EEG) machine. The EEG reading recorded emotional responses, as well as something called “motivated attention” – the degree to which a participant was drawn to the photo.

Which strategy worked best?

All three strategies significantly decreased the participants’ emotional responses to the photographs. However, only one strategy caused people to love their exes less, and that was the negative reappraisal strategy. (Note that the negative thoughts that helped people move on also worsened their general mood, though this was temporary.)

The best science-backed method to get over your ex

Study co-author Sandra Langeslag, director of the Neurocognition of Emotion and Motivation Lab at the University of Missouri–St. Louis, suggests that, once a day, you write a list of all the pet peeves you have about your ex. While your mood may dip from this exercise, it won’t last, and you’ll feel better in the long run, she says.

Other ways to stay healthy and strong during a breakup

Don’t forget that any emotional stress on the body can also cause oxidative stress — an imbalance between the number of free radicals in your body and your ability to get rid of them — which can wear down your immune system. Make sure to care for your physical well-being during a breakup too. Here’s how:

Take antioxidants which neutralize the oxidative stress in your body
Practice meditation to keep you calm
Try this yoga nidra routine to get better zzz’s
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help you to get over depression you might experience from a breakup

An Upside to Nicotine: The Positive Effects of Nicotine on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s

May 24, 2018 by Team Asprey

It’s time to set the record straight about the effects of nicotine on your brain. Nicotine — an oily liquid made by plants to keep bugs and animals away – is in the same chemical family as caffeine. And like caffeine, nicotine received a bad rap for a long time, particularly because it’s the major stimulant in tobacco and cigarettes. However, over the years, science has also discovered several beneficial effects of nicotine on the brain, particularly for people with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ADHD, or schizophrenia.

“Nicotine – the perfect psychotropic drug”

In a recent Bulletproof Radio podcast episode (iTunes), Paul Newhouse, MD, the world’s pioneering researcher of nicotine’s effect on the brain and current director of the Vanderbilt Center for Cognitive Medicine, revealed what’s so amazing about nicotine, when you separate it from tobacco.

“In some respects, [nicotine] is the perfect psychotropic drug because if you’re de-aroused, it will arouse you. If you’re over-aroused, or hyper-aroused, it will calm you down. It will bring you more into sort of that middle ground.”

Newhouse shared that some people – with depression, anxiety, and mood disturbances, in particular — benefit immensely from nicotine, because it brings them back into balance.

So, how is it possible that something so vilified could have such a positive effect on your brain?

Nicotine enhances overall cognitive performance

When nicotine reaches your brain, it binds to nicotine receptors, activating specific cognitive pathways that control attention, memory, motor function, and pleasure.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1579636″] In this way, nicotine enhances coordination[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14668975″][ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3786334″], improves your ability to pay attention[ref url=”https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s002130050857%23page-1″][ref url=”https://academic.oup.com/ntr/article-abstract/4/2/185/1013235″], boosts your short-term memory[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9888618″][ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12858319″], accelerates your reaction time[ref url=”https://www.gwern.net/docs/nicotine/1996-foulds.pdf”], and suppresses your appetite, especially when you combine it with caffeine.[ref url=”https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/neu.10147/asset/10147_ftp.pdf?v=1&t=ihnrmd2b&s=ea2034cb01fc4c3c26aed20059be45435bf2d411″]

Several studies in the past 40 years also reveal nicotine’s powerful effects on specific brain diseases.

Nicotine’s effect on Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ADHD, and schizophrenia

Nicotine effects dopamine levels in people with Parkinson’s

In 1979, UCLA neurobiologist Marie-Françoise Chesselet demonstrated how nicotine increased levels of the neurotransmitter, dopamine, in the brain.[ref url=”https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0024320579904697?via%3Dihub”] Dopamine is a feel-good chemical that governs attention and controls movement. Chesselet found that because nicotine receptors sit right next to the terminals that control dopamine release in the brain, nicotine actually enhanced the release of dopamine. Since dopamine controls body movement, nicotine has the power to stop uncontrolled body movement.

When would this be relevant? Think Parkinson’s disease, a disease that ravages your ability to control your own movement and is characterized by shakes, tremors, and tics. As nicotine drives up the release of dopamine, the feel-good chemical helps moderate those otherwise uncontrolled body movements brought on by Parkinson’s.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3685410/”]

Nicotine’s effect on memory and mood in Alzheimer’s patients

In a 1988 pilot study, Newhouse demonstrated the pronounced effects of nicotine on the brain in Alzheimer’s patients.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3137593″] After six patients received intravenous nicotine, cognitive tests revealed decreased memory impairment, as well as fewer mood-related disturbances like anxiety and depression.

More recently, Newhouse’s research in a double-blind pilot clinical trial revealed that six months of 15 mg of nicotine daily benefits those with milder forms of cognitive impairment (MCI).[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3466669/”]

And the research is growing. Nicotine may also help those with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s due to its ability to work as an antioxidant – cleaning up free radicals – thereby protecting the brain from harm.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10381559″]

Nicotine’s effects on the attention span of people with ADHD

In a 2008 study, Newhouse demonstrated that after only 45 minutes of wearing a 7-mg nicotine patch, young adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) better-remembered images they had seen previously.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15083253″]

Nicotine is effective at blocking out overwhelming stimuli for people with schizophrenia

Nicotine also has the effect of minimizing stimuli – sights, sounds, and thoughts — that overwhelm people with schizophrenia.[ref url=”https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.4274?WT.feed_name=subjects_biological-sciences”] This effect allows people with schizophrenia to pay attention more easily without as many internal distractions.

The Bulletproof approach to using nicotine

Whether you suffer from mild or major brain impairment – you may wonder if nicotine will work for you. And you should consider it carefully because nicotine does have a downside.

Because nicotine activates dopamine’s “pleasure pathway” in much the same way food, sex, love, and other rewarding drugs can do, it is highly addictive. All of these substances send a euphoric rush of dopamine through your system, leaving you feeling good, though craving more. Indulging on a regular basis dulls the pathway though, so it’s a bit of a double-edged sword.

So foremost, if you decide to use nicotine, talk to your doctor to make sure it’s appropriate given your particular scenario. If, as a team, you decide to go for it, you’ve got options on how to use it. There are gums, sprays, patches, and lozenges. Of course, there are cigarettes, though that is definitively not the way you want to reap the benefits of nicotine due to all the other nasties in a puff of smoke.

Read this to learn the Bulletproof approach to using nicotine as a smart drug. You’ll discover that the safest way to get nicotine is orally or through a wearable patch. You’ll also learn what you want to avoid (Hint: Nutrasweet) in some of those oral nicotine forms.

Fix Your Dopamine Levels to Cut Food Cravings, Suggests New Study

May 23, 2018 by Team Asprey

Stimulating the brain with electromagnetic pulses could reduce food cravings in people with obesity, a new study has found.[ref url=”https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180521092728.htm”]

Researchers from Italy showed that stimulating the brain increases the levels of neurotransmitters, namely the feel-good chemical dopamine, in the blood of obese people, making them feel more satisfied after eating.

The study, presented at the European Society of Endocrinology annual meeting in Barcelona, suggests that the therapy — called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation — could offer a safe, non-invasive, drug-free treatment for obesity. It also offers insight into how low levels of certain neurotransmitters impacts your appetite.

Obesity alters the brain reward system

Research shows that the brain’s reward system is altered in obese people, leading to a heightened biochemical response to food.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3057652/”]

What this means is that your pleasure-driven dopamine levels increase when you overeat, causing you to want even more of the food that makes you happy. In turn, higher dopamine levels lead to an increased vulnerability to cravings, which causes you to eat more and gain weight. It’s a tough cycle to break. A dysfunctional reward system is also linked to addiction to drugs, alcohol, and behaviors like gambling and sex.

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) combats food cravings

As part of the new study, researchers from the University of Milan in San Donato, Italy used deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS), which zaps the brain with magnetic energy to stimulate the brain’s neurons or nerve cells. In previous studies, dTMS has been shown to effectively combat depression[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4329899/”] and addictive behaviors.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4206564/”]

The study analyzed the effects of dTMS on appetite and satiety in obese people. Specifically, they looked at the blood markers linked to food reward in 40 obese patients. Participants received single 30-minute dTMS sessions, either at high or low frequency. The findings revealed that high-frequency dTMS significantly increased neurotransmitter levels, particularly dopamine, in the blood of obese people.

“For the first time, this study is able to suggest an explanation of how dTMS could alter food cravings in obese subjects” says lead author Livio Luzi. “We also found that some blood markers potentially associated with food reward, for example glucose, vary according to gender, suggesting male/female differences in how vulnerable patients are to food cravings, and their ability to lose weight.”

Ways to increase your dopamine levels naturally

If you’re struggling with weight or addiction, speak with your doctor about electromagnetic therapy.

There are ways to increase your dopamine levels naturally:

Eat the right diet: The Bulletproof Rapid Fat Loss Protocol, designed for obese and severely overweight people who want to lose fat as fast as possible, helps you to eliminate the foods, like sugar, which wreck your reward system.

As Dave points out in The Bulletproof Diet, the major problem with sugar is that, much like cocaine, it triggers your reward system and decreases the number of dopamine receptors in your brain. It’s a slippery slope — the more sugar you consume, the less pleasure you actually experience. By eating so much sugar, you eventually develop dopamine resistance.. Yikes. So aim to eat foods that support healthy dopamine levels to begin with. These foods include grass-fed beef, wild salmon, and even dark chocolate.

Get a daily dose of L-tyrosine: L-tyrosine is an amino acid that acts as a precursor to dopamine, meaning it helps your body make dopamine. You can take 500-2000mg per day in pure supplement form. Or eat L-tyrosine-rich foods like avocados, chicken, and turkey.

Supplement with L-dopa or mucuna pruriens: Like L-tyrosine, L-dopa — which is found in the natural supplement mucuna pruriens — is a precursor to dopamine so you’re less likely to overstimulate your receptors and become immune to it. Mucuna pruriens helps decrease appetite, while boosting your energy and mood. Try 500-1,000mg of NOW Foods mucuna extract with food.

Take low-dose nicotine lozenges: Nicotine has been shown to prevent weight gain and even promote weight loss.[ref url=”https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160518120403.htm”] Take 2mg of a lozenge or a spritz of nicotine spray to curb your appetite. Read here for more about the different forms of nicotine.

Mind your gut health: Consume probiotics and resistant starch – they boost the good bacteria in your gut and help moderate dopamine, which is synthesized in the gut.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9360553″]

You can find a good multi-strand probiotic in your local health food store. Look for one containing Bifidobacterium longum and lactobacillus helveticus — these are specifically mood-related.

The least toxic source of resistant starch is from plantains (Barry’s is a recommended brand.) You can work your way up to 4 tablespoons (48 grams) of plantain flour per day, for about 32 grams of resistant starch. Learn more about the benefits of resistant starch here.

Mucuna Pruriens: Discover the Benefits of this Mood-Boosting Productivity Supplement

May 23, 2018 by Team Asprey

[tldr]

Known as the dopa bean, this natural herbal supplement is an adaptogen used in Ayurvedic medicine that lowers stress, improves focus, boosts the libido and elevates mood.
Mucuna pruriens contains high levels of naturally occurring L-dopa, which is the precursor to dopamine.
Read on to learn about how this may be the “magic bean” to help your mood and so much more.

[/tldr]

Is mucuna pruriens the mood- and libido-boosting productivity supplement you’ve been looking for?

Known as the dopa bean, mucuna pruriens is a natural herbal supplement used in Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient practice from India, that lowers stress, reduces anxiety, improves focus, boosts the libido, and elevates mood.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3942911/”]

“Mucuna pruriens has an almost magical ability to improve motivation, well-being, energy, and sex drive along with decreasing the tendency to overeat,” says acupuncturist Karen Kurtak, LAc, co-author of “The Baby Boomer’s Guide to Living Forever,” and department head of Longevity Nutrition at Grossman Wellness Institute, in Denver.

Mucuna pruriens is a type of adaptogen, healing plants that regulate hormones to help your body better handle stress. Specifically, mucuna pruriens contains high levels of naturally occurring L-dopa, the precursor to dopamine. Dopamine is a brain chemical that plays a major role in motivation, pleasure, and emotions. Without enough dopamine, you wind up lethargic, unfocused, and even depressed. People with Parkinson’s disease also lack dopamine. Too much dopamine, on the other hand, is linked to impulsive, thrill-seeking behavior.[ref url=”https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/06/100629170922.htm”]

If this latter personality sounds like you, probably best to pass on a dopa bean supplement. For everyone else, here’s what you need to know about this therapeutic bean before buying.

What is mucuna pruriens?

Mucuna pruriens, widely known as “velvet bean,” is actually a legume (not an herb) that grows in the tropics, originally from southern China and eastern India.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3942911/”] While the bean is highly beneficial, you don’t want to touch the pod because it causes severe itching and irritation of the skin. In fact, one of its English names is “Cowitch.”

The dopa bean possesses an active compound known as L-dopa, which is a non-protein amino acid, in high concentration.[ref url=”https://www.ijcmas.com/7-3-2018/Prashant%20Kaushik,%20et%20al.pdf”] Because it boosts dopamine levels in the brain, it’s often used to treat Parkinson’s disease in Ayurvedic medicine. Western medicine uses a synthetic form of L-dopa to treat Parkinson’s patients’ symptoms, but clinical trials have shown the use of mucuna pruriens to have equivalent (or better) results without the side effects.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1738871/pdf/v075p01672.pdf”]

L-dopa and dopamine: How mucuna pruriens works

Mucuna pruriens contains high levels of naturally occurring L-dopa, which is the precursor to dopamine. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter that is essential for sleep, memory, mood, mental functions, and calming the nervous system.
By using this dopa bean supplement, you can support the body’s production of dopamine naturally. L-dopa crosses the blood-brain barrier and aides the body in creating this fantastic feel-good hormone.

As with everything, the right amount of dopamine is crucial. Normal levels keep your nervous system working properly. It promotes healthy levels of motivation, sex drive and appetite. Novel and pleasurable activities — like eating at a new restaurant, taking in a beautiful landscape, or going sky-diving — trigger the release of dopamine. It tells your brain, “I like this. Do it again.” The same thing happens when you conquer a long-term goal, like writing a book or getting a promotion.

Engaging in addictive behaviors like smoking, drinking, gambling, and overeating also heightens your dopamine levels. The problem is, too much dopamine can lead to your receptors not working correctly. Over time, addictive behaviors alter your brain cells, resulting in severe dopamine deficiency.

Mucuna for anxiety, depression and mood

With dopamine being essential for mental function, emotions, and mood, it’s no wonder this magic bean also boosts the mood. Dopamine regulates the release of various hormones and is known to calm the nervous system.

In 2014 researchers studied the effect of mucuna pruriens for reducing anxiety in rats. They used three different experimental models and chronic administration of mucuna pruriens. The results of the study showed a significant anti-anxiety effect in each of the models they studied.[ref url=”https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274066143″]

Mucuna also shows promise in treating stress and depression.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4213977/”] However, cautions Kurtak, there is the chance that giving mucuna to people who suffer from depression caused by low serotonin could make the depression more severe. That’s because dopamine in large enough doses may interfere with the production of serotonin, she explains.

Mucuna for ADHD, focus and learning

If you feel like you have ADHD tendencies, mucuna may help you stay on task. Adderall, the attention deficit drug, keeps you focused by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, so there’s more of it floating around your nervous system.

A few studies show L-dopa works as a way to boost learning and reaction time.

One of the studies tested 8 adults between the ages of 21-28 with a single 200mg dose of levodopa (synthetic L-dopa) before a visual reaction time test. The results showed “Levodopa improved RT performance in a specific way: it interacted with signal intensity, but its effect was additive with those of stimulus-response mapping and foreperiod duration.”[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12185401″]

Another study showed L-dopa to enhance new-word learning in adults. This study divided participants into two groups. One group received five doses of 100mg L-dopa before each of the five learning sessions over the period of one week. Each session involved a study phase and a test phase and the results showed a superior recall accuracy of the new words for those who took the L-dopa, as well as continued accuracy at a one-month follow-up.

Mucuna for fertility and libido

A study involving 120 men showed Mucuna pruriens to reduce stress and improve quality of semen in infertile men. Sixty men were undergoing infertility screening, and the other 60 were healthy men who had initiated at least one pregnancy. The men were given 5 grams of mucuna pruriens powder a day for 3 months. They were also given a psychological stress assessment, and their cortisol levels were tested. After the 3 months, the results showed a significant decrease in cortisol levels and an increase in sperm count to the same level as the fertile men.[ref url=”https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2816389/”]

Mucuna pruriens dosage and how to take

As with any supplement you are taking to upgrade your performance, look for a high-quality powder or tablet, like NOW Foods mucuna extract containing 15% L-dopa.

How much: Take 200 – 500 mg with food, up to 1,000 mg a day. Taking more than 1 gram per day can lead to side effects like sweating, nausea, high blood pressure and heart palpitations.

Cycle on and off: While this supplement could be the magic pill you’ve been looking for, be cautious of dosage to ensure you don’t become tolerant or dependent on it. It’s recommended to cycle this supplement and only take it 4-5 days a week.

Fix your receptors: According to Kurtak, mucuna can be used as a natural remedy. However, she recommends taking it while rehabilitating the dopamine receptors. “Otherwise, it actually exacerbates the problem and causes further damage.”

Her suggested stack of supplements to take alongside macuna:

L-tyrosine: 1000 mg two times per day on an empty stomach
Rhodiola: 50 mg twice a day
Serotonin-Dopamine drops
N-Acetyl Cysteine: 1000-2000 mg of to support glutathione production and prevent loss of the naturally occurring dopamine

How TV Star Erik Tsou Shed His Depression and Became a Happy Father

May 18, 2018 by Team Asprey

At one point, father and husband Erik Tsou weighed 220 pounds, and as he points out, he isn’t a tall person. Born with achondroplasia or dwarfism, Tsou acknowledges his struggles with weight started in childhood. Now, glancing at a photo of himself at that weight, Tsou admits he looked happy – it was a fun time in his life – but his health suffered tremendously from the excess weight.

The tipping point for Tsou arrived with his mother’s declining health from diabetes. “Then [her death] really changed my life and made me think about how I wanted to live. I wanted to be healthy.” So, from 2009 to 2011, Tsou embarked on a disciplined fitness routine, hitting the gym five days a week. He lost 40 pounds, though eventually his progress plateaued.

While he was disappointed that his health improvements had apparently maxed out, there was another light in his life. He met his wife, Tracy, who starred on the reality TV show “Little Women: LA.” “We got married and right away we wanted to have a child,” Tsou shared. “Though then we had two miscarriages and it was very hard on Tracy.”

Around the same time, Tsou woke one morning and went to get out of bed when his leg gave out. A specialist confirmed his leg wasn’t receiving sufficient fluid from his spine and he’d need surgery. “After the surgery, I was definitely not the same man…not just physically but mentally.” Tsou shares that his depression took a long time to heal.

However, another tipping point came one morning when Tsou tried Bulletproof Coffee. “I made [the coffee], and that day, I was hooked. It has changed my life to a point where I’m able to get through my day being kickass.”

As his life started to change for the better, Tsou received more terrific news. Tracy confirmed that they would have a baby. “[The baby] was going to be a boy and he was going to be average height… Happy is not even the word to describe it,” Tsou shared with delight.

Tsou opened up about how he hopes his son will see him one day. “I want my son to look at his father and say, ‘We all deal with something in our life, but It’s not about what you’re dealing with, it’s how you overcome the obstacle.”

Now a grateful husband and father, Tsou believes Bulletproof Coffee and a Bulletproof lifestyle have made him a better person. “I look forward to waking up in the morning because I know I’m going to have my Bulletproof Coffee. I’m going to be ready to start my day and make it count.”
