0:00.0 | Hey, what's up you guys? It's Ben Greenfield. |
0:02.8 | I don't know if any of you guys have ever seen Napoleon Dynamite. |
0:06.0 | That's my best impersonation of Kip from Napoleon Dynamite. |
0:09.6 | You ought to see my Napoleon Dynamite dance moves, by the way. |
0:12.8 | But I digress. |
0:14.0 | In today's episode, we're going to talk about meditation for mind-blowing sex, |
0:18.4 | meditation for insomnia, meditation for energy, and a whole lot more with my guest, Emily Fletcher. |
0:24.4 | But before we jump into that episode, I want to tell you about one of the best ways |

0:34.9 | Well, collagen is, of course, found in the connective tissue of skin and teeth and bones |

0:50.8 | may do their part in collagen production. Why am I telling you all this? |
0:55.6 | Because one of the best tasting green superfood powders on the face of the planet that I put a |
1:01.9 | little scoop of into my smoothie each day poses a high amount of lemon, citrus fruit that you |
1:09.7 | may be familiar with unless you've been living under a rock since you were born, because lemons are |
1:15.3 | pretty prevalent. Every time I walk into grocery store at least I find them or the little fake plastic |
1:20.3 | one full of lemon juice. Anyways, though, it's really good for stabilizing blood sugar level. |
1:24.5 | It's also really good for maximizing your collagen absorption. I actually use bone broth in my |
1:30.2 | smoothies too. So it's a good one to combo lemons and bone broth. Anyways, this green juice super |
