New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!

– Favorite New Drink: Moscow Mules Made With Zevia Ginger Beer

Some time ago, I interviewed for my podcast the owner of “Zevia”, which is like my own personal crack cocaine: stevia flavored soda that I tend to drink at a rate of one to two of per day (my favorite flavor is “Creme Soda”). Much to my delight and pleasure, Zevia just launched a brand new ginger beer. Considering my summer cocktail of choice is a homemade Moscow Mule on ice – a mix of gin or vodka, fresh squeeze of lime, a splash of bitters, a garnish of wild mint, a pinch of sea salt and, of course, a generous helping of ginger beer – this is a way to make an amazing cocktail and get none of the high fructose corn syrup in just about every brand of ginger beer that exists. Zero calories, folks – count 'em: zero. Grab the ginger beer from Amazon here (it's got no alcohol – it's for mixing).

– Fancy Way To Get Glutathione: The Almsbio “Mitochondrial Therapy” (MitoTherapy) Vitamin Cocktail

Glutathione, COQ10, and Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) – when combined – form a potent “Mitochondrial Cocktail” that is highly therapeutic for…you guessed it, your mitochondria. This potent combination is fantastic for enhancing mitochondrial health and supporting a proper detoxification Phase 1 and Phase 2 by the liver.

I’m a big fan of glutathione for a variety of reasons. Our human ancestral propensity is to be low in glycine (glycine is necessary for good glutathione status) and my genetic testing results show my own glutathione production is low. COQ10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant that our bodies need to process energy and function properly. Our cells use COQ10 to help turn the energy we consume from carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy our cells use to carry out many critical functions in the body. Then there's Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ), which has been shown to support the growth of brand new mitochondria through a process called “mitochondrial biogenesis”. Together, CoQ10 and PQQ offer a noticeable upgrade to your energy production – and the clever delivery system of the glutathione wraps the ingredients in liposomes – tiny fat molecules that protect them from your stomach acid and deliver them all the way to your bloodstream. Plus it’s tasty too, unlike the “liquid dog fart” taste of many glutathione blends. My kids, both of whom have been genetically tested and shown to be low in glutathione production just like me, also take this stuff every day. Click here to get it and save 10% with code “BenGreenfield10”.

– Book: Giftology

Radical generosity is the against-the-grain secret weapon of real influencers, and it will allow you to boost referrals, retention rates, and ROI like few other strategies. But be warned, gifts with strings attached backfire. There is a right, and wrong, way to give. My friend John Ruhlin has gifted on behalf of everyone – from little ol' me to Forbes Magazine to a host of Fortune 500 companies, and his gifting tactics lead to incredible personal and business relationships. In the book, through poignant personal stories and data-backed evidence, Ruhlin breaks down how anyone-from mail clerk to managing director-can master the magic of what he calls “Giftology” by teaching mastering reciprocity, the hidden bottom line booster; laser-targeting whom to give a gift and when to use thrift; uncovering your client’s inner circle and becoming part of it; giving wholeheartedly and reaping the rewards of an expanding business and fruitful relationships, professional and personal alike. If you own a business, work in human resources, or interact with clients and customers, you need to read this. Click here to grab the book.

::: Kettle and Fire :::

Can we talk about the 800 lb gorilla in the room of “living a healthy lifestyle” that everybody knows about, but almost no one seriously acknowledges? If you're committed to living healthy, then there aren't 10,000 problems you need to solve. There's only one. And it's this: how can you eat something that is both healthy and so truly delicious you actually want to eat it? Well, the folks at Kettle and Fire went a little crazy and took a risk on upgrading a classic: beefy bean chili. That's right. Now you can have the known health benefits of Kettle and Fire's clean, excellent quality bone broth and some beefy, bean chili at once. Say no more. I'm sold. Are you? Check it out here and save for a limited time on this brand new flavor!

    It’s hard to find much information about almsbio and their product that you´re recommending. How can you insure us that it actually works? Their product seem promising but their website doesn´t give out much information unfortunately.

    1. Gabriel says:

      Also, how does Almsbio Glutathione compare to PrimalHackers Optimized AF Liposomal Glutathione with CoQ10 and PQQ??

      1. You're fine with either. Primalhacker makes great products as well… https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/primalhacker
