Are you a coffee-lover? For most people, their morning simply can’t start without a good cup of steaming coffee. Surprisingly, there are also some people who, even if they love the smell and taste of these addictive beans, their bodies are not well-adjusted to it. It takes time to metabolize caffeine, an abundant compound in coffee, resulting in unfavorable reactions like increased heart rate and sleep problems. In this episode, Dr. Jockers shares natural strategies to help coffee-lovers enjoy their every cup without guilt or regret. You will also learn how caffeine works in the nervous system and the types of plants, aside from coffee beans, where caffeine naturally occurs.
“Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline, water-soluble compound called a methylxanthine alkaloid. It's closely related to the adenine and guanine contained in DNA and is the most commonly consumed psychoactive drug on the planet."

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Dr. Jockers functional nutrition podcast, the show designed to give you |
| 0:08.0 | science-based solutions to improve your health and life. I'm Dr. David Jockers, doctor of natural |
| 0:14.5 | medicine, and creator of Dr.jockers.com, and I'm the host of this podcast. I'm here to tell you that your body was |
| 0:22.5 | created to heal itself, and on this show, we focus on strategies you can apply today to heal |
| 0:28.4 | and function at your best. Thanks for spending time with me, and let's go into the show. |
| 0:38.0 | This podcast is sponsored by our friends over at Paleo Valley. |
| 0:42.4 | We know that chronic inflammation is at the root of every single degenerative disease. |
| 0:46.9 | And so if we're going to thrive in life, we've got to do things to help encourage a healthy |
| 0:51.6 | inflammation response in our body. |
| 0:59.4 | One of the best ways we can do that is take herbs that help support inflammation and keep inflammation under control. The most well-studied herb for doing that is turmeric. Tumeric |
| 1:04.6 | inhibits the inflammatory nuclear factor Kappa Beta and Stat 3 pathways. These are genetic |
| 1:10.3 | pathways that amplify |
| 1:12.2 | inflammation in our body. And by inhibiting these, turmeric really helps support good blood flow, |
| 1:19.1 | joint health, brain function, our ability to think sharply and quickly and have good memory, |
| 1:24.0 | mood, and just an overall good mindset. Now, when it comes to taking turmeric, |
| 1:29.6 | you know, certainly we can be putting it on our food, you know, and taking food-based |
| 1:33.4 | forms of turmeric, right? A lot of people will use the most well-studied compound, which is |
| 1:39.3 | curcumin. However, what we know is that whole food-based turmeric has nearly 300 other beneficial components |
| 1:47.7 | than just curcumin alone. |
| 1:50.3 | And so again, curcumin is extremely powerful, but the research shows that taking a whole-food-based |
| 1:56.0 | turmeric complex can be much more beneficial. |
