Review: Buffin Muffins

Product Review: Buffin Muffins from @BuffinBakery.

I saw these all over social media and knew I had to try them. After reaching out to the company, they sent me the muffins AND more. I received an incredible care package with a ton of their best sellers. 

First things first, the macros are more appropriate for a dessert or treat. I wouldn’t substitute my own breakfast with one of these because I prefer to start my day with something that passes The Protein Test (10g of protein per every 100 calories) so that I know I’m getting ahead of my macro goals.

Something like a Dunkin muffin is around 400-550 calories whereas the Buffin Muffins are between 350-450 calories but have much more protein than a traditional muffin.

These are also much more expensive than a traditional muffin. These are around $6 a pop whereas a Dunkin muffin is like $2. I think it’s important to differentiate the two, however, the Buffin Muffins obviously have more protein, are massive, and $6 for this caliber of a dessert is very reasonable; even Ben and Jerry’s is $4-5 a pint.

The taste? I mean wow. These really are delicious. I tried Cereal Milk and Cookies n Gains which both blew me away. Much better than a traditional muffin, very moist, ton of flavor, and a dessert option I would definitely recommend.

Longevity diagnostics

I sat down with @Dr.Kuo from @Extension.Health and asked him: “What are the most important diagnostics that we should be looking at in terms of our longevity?”

His answer:
1️⃣ DEXA scan – a comprehensive look at bone density, muscle, and fat, including visceral fat.
2️⃣ VO2 max – the highest rate at which an individual can consume oxygen during physical exercise.
3️⃣ Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – a precise measurement of how many calories our body burns doing basic metabolic functions and a breakdown of carb versus fat efficiency.
4️⃣ Grip strength – offers a strong correlation with vitality, especially as we age.

These are all tests that @Extension.Health offers at their facility alongside a plethora of regenerative medicine – such as PRP, stem cells, and hormone replacement therapy including peptides.
