Bulletproof coffee changes the voice in your head about food If you are exercising make it intense and make it short. If you move for twenty minutes a day it does good things for energy production You need to space out exercise because recovery is when growth happens Our peak energy and movement time is in the afternoon When you combine light exposure and food exposure you can shift your sleeping window to whenever you want. It’s important to know which exercise works best so you can focus your time efficiently The most important variable in sleep is light exposure Plants produce toxins as part of their survival mechanisms and humans can tolerate the toxins but too much does have an effect on the body If we eat plants with lower toxin levels our biology works better.    BEST MOMENTS ‘You can look at a plate of doughnuts and you just don’t want them there is no inner dialogue, no willpower needed and fasting becomes easy’ ‘I want this to be painless for people and with bulletproof coffee you are simply not hungry’ ‘I don’t want to be hungry; I want my brain to work all the time and my body to look the way I want’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Transform your sleep DNA optimization High Performance website  BulletProof website  BulletProof radio     ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster   Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.
