Tim Ferriss “Jumpstart Your Body” on Dr. Oz


Tim did a LONG appearance on the Dr. Oz Show, with a “Jumpstart and Super Charge Your Body” segment.
Some takeaways:
Jumpstart your metabolism by doing the 5 minute deep freeze – he talked about this in the 4 Hour Body. Take a 5 minute freezing cold shower in the a.m. to stimulate brown fat, which is the fat that burns fat.
Use kimchi (4 – 5 tablespoons) or other lacto-fermented food (sauerkraut, even yogurt) will boost serotonin in the gut, your second brain to improve mood.
Get better sleep by taking 2 tablespoons of almond butter before bed to stabilize blood sugar, which will help you feel refreshed.
For better sleep, you’ll also want to use the “sleep power position” to prevent tossing and turning. Lay on your stomach with your right arm and right leg at a 90 degree “L”.
Use whole fat cream in your coffee – 2 tablespoons. Lower or non fat spikes insulin.
Drink Yerba Mate tea. It speeds digestion (caffeine) and reduces fat absorption.
