Incredibly Interesting Book On A Crazy “Physical Culture Icon” I'm Reading Right Now

Mr. America: How Muscular Millionaire Bernarr Macfadden Transformed the Nation Through Sex, Salad, and the Ultimate Starvation Diet.

During two feverish decades between the world wars, Bernarr Macfadden did more to educate the world about healthy eating, alternative medicine, regular sexual activity, and exercise than anyone in history. His disciples included Upton Sinclair and Charles Atlas; among his employees were Walter Winchell, Ed Sullivan, and Eleanor Roosevelt. He launched the worst newspaper in U.S. history, founded a whole-grain utopian community in the New Jersey suburbs, trained fascist cadets for Mussolini, and came within a hair's breadth of being elected senator from Florida running on a physical fitness platform. Yet today few have heard of this larger-than-life entrepreneur who changed American society. In Mr. America Mark Adams illuminates Macfadden's captivating, ambitious, and unparalleled life.

My Perfect Pumpkin Pie Keto Smoothie Recipe

Yesterday on Instagram, I asked my audience to guess the ingredients to my mystery smoothie—one of which is one of the most well-researched supplements for increased strength and muscle mass and two others are derived from insects…

…so, without further ado, here are the mystery ingredients:

You can also add about two heaping teaspoons of Ceylon cinnamon for additional flavor, along with a teaspoon of sea salt. Are you using any of these already? Anything I should add? Let me know in the comments section below!

::: Save 10% On The Blue Blockers I Use For More Restorative, Deep Sleep  :::

Something you'll rarely catch me wearing: sunglasses. Something you'll frequently catch me wearing: blue light blocking glasses. See, sunglasses block sunlight from reaching your optic nerve, resulting in decreased production of protective melanin, and thus a higher risk of a carcinogenic and uncomfortable sunburn.

Blue blockers, on the other hand, block harmful blue light from modern LED, fluorescent lights, and screens—all of which can disrupt your circadian rhythm, causing increased production of stress hormones like cortisol and the suppression of melatonin at night. This leads to poor sleep and mitochondrial function, slowed metabolism, weight gain, increased rate of chronic disease, low energy, and decreased overall health.

I've tried many blue blockers throughout the years, but the brand I've landed on for functionality (and style) is Ra Optics. You can get your own pair of Ra Optics blue blockers here and save 10% when you use code BEN10 at checkout.

    Hi Ben, are you concerned with putting ketones in your smoothie considering the fact that ketone supplementation in the presence of carbs and protein upregulates mTOR? Do you plan to continue putting ketones in your morning smoothie?
