You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. I decided that this year's biohacking conference theme is play.

Biohacking tech is cool, but the biohacking community is so important. So we're having two specific sessions dedicated to making authentic connections and lifelong friends who care about the things you care about people like us.

Last year's dating Dojo sold out so fast that I had a second one for you this year. This is a great structured way to connect with others in our community, whether you're attending for business, pleasure or some above.

The playful portal will be led by none other than Christina Weber of We Deepin. And when you go, you can learn how to descend into your body so you can come alive and play.

Connect with others through the art of presence and humor. Learn how to turn on the experience of love and discover new ways to connect with others and yourself from a state of wonder. Yes, this is actually biohacking.

The other experience will be led by Christie Price, the biohacking mastermaker. And there you'll actually play games and engage in the spirit of conversation and laughter.

So you actually get to know the people you're there with and you'll learn how to get your energy up so you can make connections in less time and meet more amazing people who want to date.

Today's cool fact of the day is that drinking coffee or even its weaker cousin, Matay, tea might keep your weight in check.

Now, you're hearing me say this is going, Dave, duh. I read the bulletproof diet. You've talked a lot about caffeine and cataclysis. However, this is a new study in rats.

And yes, we do have some metabolic similarities to rats being mammals. And yes, there are other differences. However, those studies are a lot better than no studies. And so they can illustrate a lot.

But the study in rats from the University of Illinois suggests that caffeine can offset some of the negative effects of endobesogenic diet.

Caffeine reduces the storage of lipids in fat cells by limiting weight gain and the production of triglycerides.

Okay, this isn't coffee. This is just caffeine. Now, coffee may have its own sub-superpowers separate from caffeine.

But what they did in the studies for four weeks, rats got caffeine equal to a human drinking about four cups of coffee a day. Why didn't just use coffee to get the full set of benefits I don't really know.

But at the end of the time, scientists found that rats that consumed caffeine from Matay, tea, coffee, or synthetic sources accumulated less body fat than rats who didn't get caffeine.

In other words, could come from anywhere, but this is a caffeine-specific effect. Rats that had caffeine from Matay, tea gained 16% less weight and 22% less fat than rats who got caffeine-free tea.

And Matay, tea is an herbal beverage that is as stimulant in southeastern Latin American countries. And it's got about half as much caffeine as a typical cup of coffee.

And what's interesting is they found the accumulation of lipids in fat cells is really closely tied with weight gain and increased body fat in rats.

And they said, regardless of its source, caffeine decreased the accumulation of lipids in fat cells by 20 to 41%.

So in true academic results, here's what they said. Study authors say the results of this research could be scaled to humans to understand the roles of Matay, tea, and caffeine as potential strategies to prevent overweight and obesity.
