Organic Turmeric is an Australian owned and operated manufacturer of the highest quality turmeric supplement we have been able to find locally. In this interview with founder Garuda Nicolle, we learn some surprising facts about the power of turmeric as wide-spectrum wellness nutrient. Interestingly, Garuda does not advocate the habitual consumption of supplements. In this 40 minute podcast, Garuda shares some great insights, but his one key takeaway message for us is to have an awareness of our physical and mental well-being and how whole foods like turmeric can help us maintain and improve wellness.
The problem is fluorescent (and LED - think about your computer/tablet/phone screen) lamps and the light that they generate. Blue blocker glasses will provide the best protection for you while you are at work, and you can also put a filament task lamp on your desk to slightly improve the visual environment.
One of my “go to” Bulletproof desserts is this delicious treat! Its an unexpected combination of flavours (and ingredients) but you can’t beat it for a healthy, Bulletproof replica of a traditional dessert. Trust me, if you get it right it will come out as a chocolatey delight with the consistency of a mousse!
Jay Schroeder & Charles Maka from EvoUltraFit took the lead for days 1 and 2 of the Bulletproof Biohacking conference. We're going to continue on from our first bulletproof conference post and give you guys the lowdown on our experience there.
EmWave, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Vagal Tone. These are all terms that bio-hackers have heard and know about to some degree.

On our recent trip to SF for the Bulletproof Executive conference we met up with an awesome new startup called Talking20. They had a stall at the trade show section of the conference and had a big gathering around their stall. So we decided to have a look…
A fairly common question we’re asked is from people who really want to try BP coffee but are a bit intimidated by all the bits of equipment needed to get started. It doesn’t help that coffee nerds like ourselves love showboating and talking about our latest aeropress / syphon / pour-over. We're here to break it down and tell you what your options are!
On our Biohack Your Life Conference visit to San Francisco we were lucky enough to come across a very innovative company called uBiome who are sequencing the human microbiome (bacteria).

Essentially, uBiome will enable you to see what bacteria are living on and in various parts of your body including the gut, nose, mouth and genitals.

Across each day of the BPExec 2013 conference the man himself Dave Asprey gave some time for Q & A about issues that may or may not have been explicitly covered in the conference. It was a really great way to air any specific issues or questions that people had about the diet and the approach in general. We’ve compiled a list of the tidbits that stood out to us as being particularly interesting and put them into categories below. We hope you’ll find them interesting.
