Episode description
When asked “what one thing should I do to improve my diet?”, I suggest extra virgin olive oil.

✅ EVOO BUYING CRITERIA
These are the main criteria my team and I used to source a Blueprint EVOO:
1. Cold pressed
2. High polyphenol count (over 400 mg/kg)
- Blueprint EVOO has 523.4 mg/kg total biophenols (HPLC)
3. High Oleic acid count (over 67%)
• Our current Blueprint EVOO (May Harvest 2023) has 72.26% oleic acid
4. Harvest Date
• Where possible, try to find EVOO with a recent harvest date. This lets you know when the olives were picked.
• The fresher the olives, the more nutrients they’ll have.
5. UV protectant bottle
6. Third-Party Tested
• Every single batch of oil needs to be quality tested by a trustworthy third party, so you know that it is what it says on the bottle.
• BP is rigorously 3rd-party tested - see the website for more information.
🔬EVOO STUDIES
The health benefits of EVOO are backed up by a lot of research. Here are some of the studies we consulted:

Mindsip insights from this episode:
Choose high-quality extra virgin olive oil for longevity benefits
The speaker claims high-quality extra virgin olive oil is more beneficial for longevity than resveratrol, NR, cold plunges, or saunas.
Develop blueprint for most nutritious food product in history
The speaker is developing a 'blueprint product' intended to be the most nutritious food in history on a dollar-for-dollar, calorie-for-calorie basis.
Identify quality EVOO by its peppery taste and cough response
A sign of high-quality, potent extra virgin olive oil is a rich, peppery taste that is strong enough to make you cough when you drink it straight.
Source extra virgin olive oil from both hemispheres for freshness
To guarantee a fresh harvest year-round, the speaker's company sources its extra virgin olive oil from both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
Choose high-quality olive oil for optimal health benefits
Just as a Snickers bar isn't healthy chocolate, most store-bought olive oil lacks the high polyphenol and oleic acid content needed for health benefits.
Incorporate extra virgin olive oil to protect against eating damage
The act of eating causes damage in the body, and consuming extra virgin olive oil with every meal helps protect against it.
