    Gooseberry also suppresses appetite. In India we use it while fasting. Also pranayama . I do one session of 20mins and then butyeko breathing exercises for 20mins. This works quite well.

    Wow these clips are super useful. I forgot about this info in one of your podcasts. By coincidence I've also found hard exercise had the same effect. Also mixing normal black tea & a little bit of coffee helped to suppress hunger, as opposed to just drinking either one by itself. I dont know why these work for me, is it the same pathway?

    yerba helps me adjust my chronically misaligned spine. can't believe no one has studied this yet considering how well it works. works best combines with passion fruit juice. no idea why but wow it works.

    Yerba mate is new one for me, definitely going to check this out. Interested to find more about effectiveness and relevant studies etc.

    Which ones would be the smoked type? The ones are flavoured, perhaps? I sip the traditional type (for those that have watched the video of powder content in yerba, I use the lowest powder content)

    My contribution; sipping mate causes addiction. It is a healthy addiction. Also, this may explain why obesity is not so common in Argentina.

    Plus Fernet. Another miracle of mother nature.

    Thank you for the video!!! You are the best!

    I commented on another video (older one). I'm torn on the GLP1 benefits. Prescription form. It delays/slows gastric emptying and increased postprandial volume. If one is fasting for weight loss or to lower insulin levels, wouldn't this be contra intuative ? Gastroparesis. The weight loss that occurs is from calorie reduction (people are full, nausea, early satiety). Does this affect gut hormones negatively? O love your knowledge and understanding, hopefully you can help me understand. Thanks ❤️

    I'm an avid listener of this podcast. I'm from Argentina and I wanted to share my translated version of a poem about mate written by Lalo Mir. I have it hanging up in my living room so every time somebody asks me 'What are you drinking?', they can read it.

    Mate is not a drink. Well, it is. It is a liquid and it does go through the mouth.

    But it is not a drink. In this country, nobody drinks mate because they’re thirsty.

    It’s more like a habit, like scratching an itch.

    Mate is the exact opposite of television: it makes you talk if you’re with someone, and it makes you think when you’re alone.

    When somebody comes to your house, the first thing you say is ‘hello’ and the second is ‘some mates?’

    This happens in every household. Rich and poor. It happens between talkative and gossipy women, and it happens between men, serious or immature.

    It happens between old people in the nursing home, and between teenagers while they study or get high.

    It’s the only thing parents and kids share without arguing or nagging.

    [Republicans] and [democrats] pour it without questions.

    Summer or winter.

    It’s the only thing we have in common, victims and executioners, good and the bad.

    When you have a kid of your own, you start giving them mate when they ask you for it. You give it to them lukewarm, with a lot of sugar, and they feel all grown up. You feel an immense pride when a speck of your blood starts sipping mate. Your heart escapes your chest.

    Then, as years pass, they will choose if they drink it bitter, sweet, very hot, tereré, with orange peel, with herbs, with a twist of lemon.

    When you meet someone for the first time, you drink some mates. When there is still shyness, people ask:

    ‘Sweet or bitter?’. The other person answers:

    ‘However you drink it’.

    Keyboards in Argentina have yerba all in between the keys. Yerba is the only thing that you always have around, in every house. Always. With inflation, with hunger, with military coups, with democracy, with any of our diseases and eternal curses. And if one day there is no yerba, a neighbor has it, and they give some to you.

    You don’t deny yerba to anybody.

    This is the only country in the world where the decision to stop being a kid and start being a man happens on a particular day.

    No long pants, no circumcision, college or living far from your parents.

    Here we start being grown-ups the day we have the need to drink mates, by ourselves, alone.

    It’s not a coincidence. It’s not just because.

    The day a kid puts the kettle over the fire and drinks their first mate with nobody around in the house, in that minute, it’s when he discovers he has a soul.

    The simple mate is nothing else but a demonstration of values…

    It’s the solidarity of putting up with washed out mates because the conversation is good. Because the company is cherished.

    It’s the respect of taking turns to talk and to listen, you speak while the other one drinks; and it’s the honesty to say: ‘That’s it, change the yerba!’

    It’s fellowship made moment.

    It’s sensitivity to the point of boiling water.

    It’s the tenderness to ask, stupidly, ‘it’s hot, isn’t it?’

    It’s the modesty of the one who pours the best mate.

    It’s the generosity of giving until the end.

    It’s the hospitality of inviting.

    It’s the justice of one by one.

    It’s the obligation to say ‘thank you’, at least once a day.

    It’s the ethical, frank and loyal attitude of meeting without any purpose other than to share.

    Lalo Mir
