New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!
-Book I’m Reading
Hunting Trips of a Ranchman & The Wilderness Hunter Paperback by Theodore Roosevelt – Good ol' Teddy is one of my favorite presidents (to see how much of a fanboy I am, check out the mug I drink coffee from each morning). And as a bowhunter and outdoors enthusiast, I'm geeking out right now on his tales of ranching and hunting the wilderness. Written during his days as a ranchman in the Dakota Bad Lands, these wilderness tales by Theodore Roosevelt endure today as part of the classic folklore of the West. The narratives – collected in two books – provide vivid portraits of the land as well as the people and animals that inhabited it, underscoring Roosevelt's abiding concerns as a naturalist. The Wilderness Hunter, which came out in 1893, remains perhaps the most detailed account of the grizzly bear ever recorded. Grab 'em here.
-Food I’m Eating
Organic Miso – After coming back from Tokyo, where I had the pleasure of taking a miso-making course (with non-GMO soaked soybeans o' course), I am now officially geeking out on the mighty soybean paste. Like most fermented foods, miso improves the balance of good flora in the digestive tract. But the benefits don't stop there. Miso is chock full of minerals, can lower the risk of breast cancer and is very high in antioxidants too. Plus, it lends amazing flavor to just about any stock or soup (or even rice). Here's a very tasty premium, organic, non-GMO white version from Amazon.
-Essential Travel Kit Item
DUDE Wipes – Whether I need to wipe off some sweat or funk when I don't have a chance to shower, need to clean my butt very thoroughly, or want to wash my hands when a sink and soap aren't nearby, DUDE Wipes are my go-to. I first saw these things on Shark Tank, and I order a big box of them just about every two months like clockwork. The inventors hated using toilet paper so they created the flushable DUDE Wipes, which are basically biodegradable wipes specifically designed for cleansing your dude regions, but good for oh-so-much-more.They are 25% larger than the average flushable wet wipes, and they're unscented, with naturally soothing aloe vera and vitamin E to protect your sensitive sides. Treat yourself, and your butt, like the king of the throne with DUDE Wipes. Grab 'em here.
-Text I Received
Viome CEO Naveen Jain – He just texted me yesterday morning with a very good deal. Beginning today, for all my readers and listeners, he has just DOUBLED the discount on the complete microbiome test for your gut, knocking the test from $399 down to $299. Viome allows you to discover exactly what's happening inside you and get a personalized action plan to fix it. The discount automatically applies when you click here and he will keep it active for at least the next week. You'll be blown away by how much your poop can tell you about your body. Enjoy!

::: LIVE NOW! Avoid the (Actual, Real) Danger of EMF :::
I probably don’t need to fill you in on why exposure to electrical pollution, electromagnetic fields (EMF), WiFi routers, cell phone signals, cell phone towers, microwave radiation, etc. is so deleterious to your health… and I'm more than a little concerned about it: as a matter of fact, my family and I don't even use WiFi at home.
My friend, Lloyd Burrell has put together this EMF summit where folks like myself, Dr. Mercola and more are going to cover the best strategies to protect yourself from these digital toxins, which can cause mysterious symptoms like headaches host of other conditions. Check it out!

High protein intake reduces ketogenesis not by gluconeogenesis, but anaplerosis– cont'd oxidation of fatty acids through the tricarboxylicacid (TCA) cycle. People eating more protein have more oxaloacetate, less acetyl-CoA buildup, so less ketones: https://t.co/FanYZxIseW

So happy to hear and see that you had a great trip to Japan! There’s so much we can learn from their culture, particularly when it comes to health and longevity! Did you try some natto while you were there?
Yes!
Hi Ben,
Thanks for all your posts they have been helpful.
My brother deals with chronic pain throughout his body.
Are there any 80/20 anti inflammatory supplements, herbs etc… which really stand out for you. Also, having a high safety/well researched profile.
I live in the uk, so am unable to get the supplements you have created.
A few suggestions would really be great.
thanks,
Calvin
