And they're asking where this falls on the health spectrum.

Unfortunately, those pods, those capsules, they all have lined plastic in them.

And so...

My biggest concern with those isn't the coffee type.

It's the hot liquid going through plastic, which as we have talked about several times, rapidly accelerates the breakdown of microplastics into your beverage as well as their associated chemicals like BPA into your beverage.

Unfortunately, I don't think those are a good choice for that reason because you're actually going to be consuming a lot of microplastics and plastic associated chemicals.

Alyssa's asking about the meter I use for my ketone to measure my ketones.

I actually don't use the meter that's sold with any companies.

I use a Precision Extra, which allows me to measure my blood glucose with a finger prick or ketones or I don't know if they do lactate.

I use a different meter for lactate, but I really like the Precision Extra.

I've been using it for like almost 10 years.

It's a really great product.

Mike is asking when I cycle off caffeine if I notice any lowering in my resting heart rate.

I actually do not.

Monica's asking about coffee pot makers that are not made of plastic.

That's why I mentioned the one I use, which is the glass key mix.

And it's a pour over.

And so it's basically you just put the filter on the top of it and then the coffee drips through.

And then, of course, there's some percolators that you can buy that are not made of plastic.

And there's the French press, of course, as well, if you're not concerned about drinking unfiltered coffee.
