New Discoveries
🍵 Matcha, But Better—No Grassy Aftertaste, All the Brain Health & Immune-Boosting Benefits!
Matcha is a powerhouse for focus, brain health, and immunity—but for many, its naturally grassy taste is a deal-breaker. You know it’s packed with benefits, but drinking it straight, especially without sugar? Not exactly enjoyable.
That’s where Tatsu Tea Matcha Performance Tea changes the game. Developed by elite jiu-jitsu athletes who demand clean, high-performance fuel, Tatsu delivers all of matcha’s legendary benefits—including sustained energy, sharper focus, and immune support—without the bitter aftertaste.
I love matcha in a super special smoothie, while fasting, or even in fancy, superfood cocktails. But having it available in a refreshing, ready-to-drink can? That makes getting its benefits effortless, especially when the matcha tastes great.
Tatsu Tea has created a next-gen matcha specifically crafted for athletes, professionals, busy parents, and anyone who wants a clean, natural boost without the jitters, crashes, or artificial junk found in most coffee and energy drinks.
Whether you're training, grinding through work, or just need a clean boost, Tatsu Tea's matcha delivers:
✅ Premium Japanese-grown matcha from the Nishio region, packed with antioxidants, chlorophyll, and L-theanine.
💧 Electrolytes + vitamins to support hydration, exercise recovery, and immunity.
⚡ Slow-release caffeine + L-theanine, delivering calm, focused energy with zero jitters.
🍃 A light, naturally sweet taste from lychee juice, with no added sugar or artificial junk.
🧊 A refreshing taste without any bitterness.
With just 52 milligrams of caffeine per can—equivalent to about half a cup of coffee—you'll get 6 to 8 hours of smooth, plant-based energy without the dreaded post-caffeine dip.
It's perfect pre- or post-workout, to boost productivity, get you through the afternoon slump, combat jet lag, or even help with hangover recovery. If you want to stay dialed in no matter what the day throws at you, give Tatsu Tea Matcha Performance Tea a try for yourself—and save 10% with my code.

⏳ Intermittent Fasting Timing—Does It Matter?: A new study confirms that whether you eat early or late doesn’t impact fat loss, as long as you're maintaining a calorie deficit. So, choose the schedule that works best for you! See the study here.
💪 Ultra-processed Foods & Muscle Loss: Bad news for junk food lovers: higher intake of ultra-processed foods (UPF) is linked to lower muscle mass. Every 1% increase in UPF consumption results in a measurable decline in lean body mass. Want to keep your gains? Stick to real, whole foods. Check out the research here & here.
🥩 How Much Protein is Too Much?: A study found that consuming a high-protein diet (3.4g/kg/day) alongside resistance training supports muscle gains and has no negative health effects. So if you’re training hard, don’t fear the extra protein. Read the full study here.
📌 Key Takeaways: The foods you eat, the timing of your meals, and even your mindset may play a bigger role in longevity, muscle maintenance, and performance than you think. Stay intentional, fuel wisely, and keep optimizing!
